Requested Tracking Map
During the last 14 days we have received locations for 6 bearded seals, 2 ringed seals, and 9 spotted seals. Only one tagged seal is north of the Bering Strait. Bearded seal BS16-05-F (red square) is still located in the Beaufort Sea, along the coastline of northern Alaska, northwest of Kaktovik. All other tagged seals are south of the Bering Strait and range, east to west, from Norton Sound to the Russian coast line, and south to Bristol Bay. Sea ice data courtesy of the U.S. National Ice Center and dated 30 January (http://www.natice.noaa.gov/products/).
