California Current ProgramHarbor Seal Studies At present, Washington harbor seals are separated
into two stocks based on genetics and pupping phenology. The division
between the two stocks has been arbitrarily designated as a line north
of Cape Flattery, splitting harbor seals into outer coast seals that pup
in late May/early June, and inland water seals that pup in July/August.
In the past, genetics samples were collected at Gray’s Harbor on the
coast and at Protection
Island in the Strait of Juan de Fuca 50 miles from the arbitrary
boundary between the two stocks. By Harriet Huber |
