British Columbia · Seal Watch

The British Columbia watch.

Follow published seal observations from British Columbia, or send your own sighting to the Seal Watch team.

A record of encounters.

British Columbia’s coast and islands, including Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii. Alaska and Washington have separate 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.
