People are harming the Bay's wildlife --often out of misplaced concern.

Marin in particular "has an exceedingly high number of severe disturbances with young seal pups, which can be life-threatening interactions,” said Giancarlo Rulli of the Marine Mammal Center.

Bottom line: if you see an animal in distress, do NOT approach it. Instead call the center’s hotline to submit a report: 415-289-7325

Die Lagune hinter dem Rauðasandur ist stark von den Gezeiten geprägt, aber beim zweiten Versuch ist mein Timing besser: das Wasser steht für knapp drei Stunden hoch genug, um sie mit dem Packraft zu erkunden. Schnell begleiten mich ein paar freche Seehunde. Während ich langsam übers Wasser paddle, tauchen sie immer wieder in meiner Nähe auf, beobachten mich aufmerksam und kommen bis auf wenige Meter heran. Es ist faszinierend zu sehen, wie sie neugierig ihre Köpfe aus dem Wasser strecken und eine Zeit mit mir mitschwimmen.

Had dinner on the beach and did some seal watching. Territorial little stinkers! Some humans were way too comfortable getting close.

Seehunde ruhen auf Felsen oder Sandbänken an den Küsten der Westfjorde. Jetzt im Frühsommer sind oft auch Jungtiere dabei, die dicht bei den Muttertieren bleiben und neugierig ihre Umgebung beobachten. Die Tiere gehören fest zur isländischen Küstenlandschaft und lassen sich mit etwas Geduld gut beobachten.

A New Zealand fur seal pup, looks straight into the lens. Curious, alert—full of presence.
Photographed on the Kaikōura coast, where their future is increasingly uncertain.

Let’s not let wonder like this disappear.

▴ Milford Sound

This particular rock in Milford Sound has become a favorite spot for New Zealand fur seals. Thanks to its sloped surface and close proximity to the water, the seals can easily haul themselves up to rest, warm up, or socialize – earning it the name 'seal rock'.

Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about blorpy bloopy Seals!

Left hand holding open a sketchbook page with pink pen drawings of seals. At the top is the text 5/15/25 and SEALS. There are 7 drawings of seals. The bottom right has a large drawing of a seal with a fish in his mouth. Above is a lounging seal, and throughout the rest of the page are some very fat seals with the text Bloop, Gulp, and Blorp.

Can you spot the 24 #seals on this picture?

I can see many of them, but I know where to look.

Bei den Robben und Seehunden an der Nordsee 'hätte ich doch gern ein Tele gehabt'... (Bild ist schon deutlich gecropt)

Auf einer Sandbank liegen mehrere Robben. Leider sind sie sehr klein und nur schlecht zu erkennen.
