Russian Far East · Seal Watch

The Russian Far East watch.

Follow published seal observations from the Russian Far East, or send your own sighting to the Seal Watch team.

A record of encounters.

The coasts and islands of Primorsky Krai, Khabarovsk Krai, Magadan Oblast, Kamchatka Krai, Chukotka and Sakhalin Oblast. Lake Baikal has its own community. Regional outlines do not assert territorial ownership.

We bring together published reports so people can follow the story over time. A report is an observation, not a count of a different seal, and an attributed name is not independent identity verification.

Each regional archive contains its own reports. Visitor submissions are reviewed privately; publication is a separate editorial step. New records appear here as they are published.
