Ice Seal Tracking Maps Archive

During the last fourteen days we have received locations for 2 bearded seals. Bearded seal BS15-07-M (blue line) has moved north, with the receding sea ice, into the eastern Chukchi Sea and is now west of Point Lay, Alaska. The second bearded seal, BS14-04-M (green line), is still located in eastern Kotzebue Sound, in Eschscholtz Bay. This seal has been making localized movements and hauling out near the mouth of the Buckland River.
