Managing Agency: ADFG

Assisting Personnel: Sara Iverson, Lloyd Lowry, Mike Simpkins, Jay Ver Hoef

Research Location: Prince William Sound

Restoration Category: Monitoring

Injured Resources Addressed: Harbor Seals

Abstract: This project would gather data on the distribution, abundance, behavior, food habits and genetic relationships of harbor seals in PWS. The project includes monitoring and trend counts to determine whether recovery is occurring or whether the decline in harbor seals is continuing. Seals would be instrumented with satellite transmitters to investigate habitat use, movements, diving, and haulout.
