Seals’ island is dumping ground for marine debris
By Mary Pemberton
St. Paul Island, Alaska (AP) Huge, whiskered male fur seals called “beach masters” are back on St. Paul Island after swimming a gauntlet of lost or discarded fishing gear floating in the Bering Sea. The males, weighing up to 600 pounds, arrive at the island’s rookeries in May or early June and wait for the females to come onshore to give birth and complete their harems. The scene at first appears idyllic on the treeless, wind-swept island, home to the world’s largest population of fur seals. |
