Ice Seal Tracking Maps Archive

Over the last ten days we have received transmissions from 3 ringed (solid lines) and 3 bearded (dashed lines) seals. These seals have not moved far in the last week. One ringed and 1 bearded seal are lingering in Kotzebue Sound, the same bay they were tagged in during June 2014. Two ringed and 2 bearded seals are also in Norton Sound. Sea ice data are courtesy of the U.S. National Ice Center, dated 15 December (http://www.natice.noaa.gov/index.html). Seal research is conducted under NMFS permit #15324.
