They are adept swimmers and often bask on coastal shores or ice floes. The diet of harbor seals consists mainly of fish, squid, and crustaceans. They have a varied habitat range, from the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to the Baltic and North Seas. Harbor seals are crucial indicators of marine health and are protected under various environmental conservation laws. Despite facing threats from habitat loss, pollution, and fishing net entanglements, their populations in certain areas remain robust, thanks to ongoing conservation efforts.
