*** About Seals: Seals are marine mammals belonging to the family Phocidae. Commonly found along most coastal waters, they are adept at navigating both the open ocean and coastal habitats. Seals have a layer of blubber under their skin which serves as insulation against cold water and a source of energy when food is scarce. Their diet primarily consists of fish, squid, shellfish, and crustaceans. Seals are pivotal contributors to marine ecosystems as they help maintain the balance of marine life. Their presence in regions like Halifax highlights the biodiversity essential for healthy oceans. Interactions between seals and humans have increased as human activities expand into their habitats, necessitating measures for marine conservation and coexistence.
