   Why are seals important?

   • Seals also have the unique ability to contribute nutrients to the edge of the ocean, and have been recognized as important contributors to restore vegetation on nutrient limited islands such as Sable Island (Lysak 2013).

   Why are seals Endangered?

   • "Seals have existed for millions of years. They've made a bold evolutionary move, as leaving the water has meant being vulnerable to predators," Dr. Kelly notes. And it is not just predators that threaten seals: humans and climate change do, too, as seal habitats are rapidly shrinking due to melting sea ice and snow.

   Are seals only one part of the ecosystem?

   • Both Iverson and McCosker make the same point: seals are only one part of the ecosystem. Iverson said the explosion in the number of grey seals is a result of the cod collapse, where grey seals moved in to eat what cod used to eat. The consequences are the subject of debate.

   Are grey seals promoting ecosystem stability?

   • The local grey seal population appears to be enriching the local vegetation and is having widespread positive effects on plant productivity and thereby promoting ecosystem stability (Lysak 2013, McLoughlin et al. 2016). We are only recently learning what our rebounding marine mammal species contribute to global ocean health and ecosystem function.
