*** About Harbor Seals: Known for their adaptability to both coastal and estuarine environments, harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) are a widespread species found across the Northern Hemisphere. These seals spend a significant amount of their lives in the water but are also often spotted lounging on rocky shores or sandy beaches. Harbor seals are skilled swimmers from birth, able to dive and navigate through water shortly after entering the world, supporting their needs for fishing and avoiding predators. With their varied diet and ability to utilize different habitats, harbor seals play an important role in maintaining the health and balance of their marine ecosystems.
