Ice Seal Tracking Maps Archive

During the last fourteen days we have received transmissions from 3 ringed and 1 bearded seal (yellow track). Seals are located in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas; one female ringed seal has traveled west, in the Canadian Beaufort Sea, near Mackenzie Bay and Tuktoyaktuk. Sea ice data are courtesy of the NASA Rapid Response Network, dated 11 August (https://earthdata.nasa.gov/). Seals were tagged in Kotzebue Sound on 18 and 19 June in collaboration with the Native Village of Kotzebue. Funding for tagging has been provided by BOEM.
