Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) are prime examples of the complex nature of the relationship between humans and wildlife and the delicate nature of our ecosystem. Although they are big hits at zoos and have the kind of faces that sell posters and snuggly stuffed animals, harbor seals have a tempestuous relationship with humans whose livelihoods are tied to the sea. The fishing industry often blames harbor seals for depleting the stocks of commercially valuable fish such as salmon and cod. In many places, it is legal for fishermen to shoot seals for threatening their hauls. Unfortunately, this is a simplistic solution to a complex problem. Humans have long been depleting the earth's natural resources, polluting its air and water, and destroying wildlife habitat in order to build housing developments and shopping malls. All of these factors affect the balance of life on this planet. In the Moray Firth in Scotland, overfishing of herring and sandeels - two species of fatty fish harbor seals need to eat to stay healthy - created health issues in local seal populations because they were forced to feed on fish with lower caloric content. Nature adapts in order to survive. To kill harbor seals for adapting their behavior in order to keep living instead of addressing the larger issue of ecological imbalance is to create further imbalance. Harbor seals live in temperate and subarctic coastal areas of the Northern Hemisphere. They eat fish such as herring, mackerel, sea bass, cod, and anchovy and sometimes squid, crab, mollusks, and shrimp as well.
