About the Harbor Seal (Phoca vitulina):

The harbor seal is one of the most widely distributed pinnipeds in the world, found along temperate and Arctic coastlines from the Pacific Northwest to New England and across Northern Europe. Known for their spotted coats and inquisitive nature, harbor seals are a beloved sight along rocky beaches, estuaries, and harbors. They are skilled swimmers and divers, feeding on fish, squid, and crustaceans. Learn more about this remarkable marine mammal by exploring Harbor Seal on Wikipedia and the NOAA Fisheries page.
