OBIS Secretariat Open in mapper Explore occurrences

Visual counts of grey and harbor seals were made during 5 helicopter surveys in 1985-87 and 1991-92 along the coast and offshore islands of the Bay of Fundy region from Machias Seal Island to Quaco Head, New Brunswick, and from Parkers Cove to Cape Sable Island, Nova Scotia. The OBIS collection is a subset of the report's dataset containing species distribution information with presence information only (no abundance or biomass estimates).
