Diving Behaviour of Harbour Seals (Phoca Vitulina) in Kattegat: Scandinavia Magda Chudzinska

This work describes a study of diving behaviour of harbour seal from Anholt. It constitutes a part of the larger project ?Et Vindue til sælerne' (A window to the seals) aiming at monitoring the whereabouts and ecology of harbour seals from Anholt in relation to human disturbance and to increase the public awareness on seals and the problem of disturbance at the seals' haul-out site. This study includes a general introduction describing in detail the background of the studied animals, study site and methods used to estimate foraging areas of the studied individuals. Furthermore, it includes a draft manuscript showing the results and discussion of the collected data, entitled ?Diving behaviour of harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) in Kattegat, Southern Scandinavia'.
