FACTORS AFFECTING HAUL-OUT BEHAVIOR OF HARBOR SEALS (PHOCA VITULINA) IN TIDEWATER GLACIER INLETS IN ALASKA: CAN TOURISM VESSELS AND SEALS COEXIST?

Factors Affecting Haul-Out Behavior of Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) in Tidewater Glacier Inlets in Alaska: Can Tourism Vessels and Seals Coexist?

Large numbers of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) use habitat in tidewater glaciers in Alaska for pupping, breeding, and molting.Glacial fjords are also popular tourist destinations; however, visitation by numerous vessels can result in disturbance of seals during critical life-history phases.We explored factors affecting haul-out behavior of harbor s
