Seal distribution HOLAS 3 (Baltic sea)

The seals' distribution maps show the distribution and abundance of grey, harbour and ringed seals across the Baltic Sea.

The ecosystem component maps on mammals' distribution were drafted by EG MAMA harbour porpoise and seal distribution teams. The maps were prepared as expert-derived distribution categories to be used in the HELCOM Third Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem health of the Baltic Sea.
