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) and spotted seal SS18-06-M (yellow circle) are generally near the Bering Strait. Three spotted seals remain in the central Chukchi Sea, near Point Hope, Alaska, and four are in the Bering Sea, generally near Scammon Bay, Alaska, and the Yukon River. All seals are either currently located in, or, during the last ten days, were in, areas with sea ice near the Alaskan coast. Sea ice data are courtesy of the U.S. National Ice Center, dated 26 November (http://www.natice.noaa.gov/products/daily_products.html).
