Document Description
The proposed Harbor Seal Haul-Out Project would involve the deployment and installation of a new floating dock specifically for the purpose of replacing the deteriorating dock that is currently used as a haul-out. The proposed new haul-out would be designed based on the haul-out needs, biology and behavior of the harbor seals. Beacuse harbor seals cannot easily climb vertical surfaces, the new structure would be designed with a gentle slope and low freeboard. Harbor seals seek haul-out sites that are free from terrestrial predators or source of disturbance, so the new haul-out site would be greater than 110 yards from shore to minimize disturbance by people and animals on land.
