Watch the water.
Notice what returns.

Seal Watch is a quiet window into the lives of seals: follow sightings, learn where different species live, and observe them with care. Seals are predators woven through marine food webs, and changes in their diet, condition, abundance, and movements can reveal shifts in prey and ocean health—turning each encounter into curiosity, stewardship, and greater care for coastal habitats.
