***About Harbor Seals: Harbor seals, scientifically known as Phoca vitulina, are common along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. They are highly adaptable marine mammals with a diet consisting mostly of fish, squid, and crustaceans. These seals are known for their distinctive spotted coats and can often be seen lounging on rocky shores or bobbing in coastal waters. Despite their widespread presence, harbor seals are crucial indicators of marine health, making their conservation important for maintaining ecological balance.
