Ice Seal Tracking Maps Archive

During the last ten days we have received locations for 1 bearded and 8 spotted seals. Bearded seal BS18-01-F (green square) has moved into Kotzebue Sound as ice has formed along the coastline of the Sound. Three spotted seals remain in the central Chukchi Sea, two are in Bering Strait, and the remaining three are in the Bering Sea.
