During the last ten days we have received locations for 2 ringed seals (solid lines) and 5 bearded seals (dashed lines). Ringed seal RS14-01-M has moved south, into the Bering Sea, and is currently located between Wales and Nome along the Alaskan coast and RS15-02-F is north of the Russian coast in the Chukchi Sea. As for the bearded seals, BS14-02-M and BS15-03-F are in Norton Sound. BS15-07-M has left Kotzebue Sound and is moving south along the Alaskan coast.
