Abstract
This article presents a study on the effect of human exposure on the anti-predator response of Phoca vitulina or Harbor seals. It discusses the increase in human exposure of harbor seals in Salish Sea off British Columbia and Washington State, vulnerability of harbor seals to natural predators, the use of Generalized Linear Mixed Effect Models in the study, and the differences of human exposure between sites.
