Why Study Weddell Seals?

Weddell seals are the southernmost breeding population of mammals on the planet. Found only in Antarctica, Weddell seals are a vital part of Antarctic ecology. This unique long-term population study is one of the longest running population studies ever of a long-lived mammal, and provides valuable data and insight into how this population of iconic marine predators is doing over time.
