	The ADF&G Marine Mammal Program conducts many research projects on harbor seals 
	to increase our understanding of harbor seal ecology and to investigate factors 
	that may be contributing to the decline of some harbor seal populations in Alaska.
	See the Harbor Seal Research Projects page for a list of 
	current/recent projects and details about each project.
