Requested Tracking Map
During the last ten days we have received locations for 1 bearded and 8 spotted seals. Bearded seal BS18-01-F (green square) has left the Koyuk River and moved into Norton Sound. The spotted seals tagged in the Beaufort Sea have begun moving south. Spotted seal SS18-01-M (orange circle) is moving south and east along the north coast of Russia and is currently east of Cape Schmidt. Spotted seals SS17-02-M (green circle) and SS18-02-M (brown circle) continue to make localized movements near Scammon Bay. Sea ice data are courtesy of the U.S. National Ice Center, dated 8 October (http://www.natice.noaa.gov/products/daily_products.html).
