Each seal´s fur pattern is unique and enables the SGRT volunteers to track them for life.   Seals face many challenges, yet we all depend on them to balance our marine ecosystem, this is essential to make the oxygen we breathe.   Seals are our globally rare wildlife tourist attraction, helping diversify coastal economic prosperity.
