Harbor seals hauling out at Hopkins Beach, CA

Hauling out is an important for seals because it is when they can rest, give birth, and molt. This time out of the water allows them to use the sun to keep warm instead of relying on their fat and metabolism. This becomes really important in colder waters like Alaska. If harbor seals can’t haul out, they must supplement their heat loss by eating more. If you see a harbor seal on the beach like this, let them rest for a bit. They’re easily startled, and we don’t want them to have to look for extra food because they didn’t feel like the beach was a safe place to rest at that time.
