*** About Harbor Seals: Harbor seals are a widespread species found along temperate and Arctic marine coastlines of the Northern Hemisphere. Known for their distinctive spotted coats, these seals are highly adaptive and can thrive in a variety of marine environments, although they prefer areas with sandy beaches or rocky shores where they can rest and give birth. San Francisco Bay provides a natural habitat for these marine mammals, where they are often spotted lounging on rocky outcrops or bobbing in the water. Conservation efforts in the region help ensure that the population remains stable and visible, making harbor seals one of the cherished wildlife sights in the area.
