The Alaska watch.

Alaska’s coast and islands, including the Aleutian and Pribilof islands. Canadian and Russian observations belong to their own communities.

We bring together published reports so people can follow the story over time. A report is an observation, not a count of a different seal, and an attributed name is not independent identity verification.

Each regional archive contains its own reports. Visitor submissions are reviewed privately; publication is a separate editorial step. New records appear here as they are published.
