Large seal populations have had negative pressures on populations of the fish upon which they feed. Help us to promote sustainable seal products in order to maintain a balanced marine ecosystem!
Support Marine Conservation
Almost all sealers are seasonal fishermen who rely on sealing to help compensate for declining stocks of commercial fish such as cod, capelin, herring, crab, mackerel and salmon.
A well-managed seal harvest is key to maintaining seal populations at levels that allow fish populations to rebound while sustaining greater commercial harvests and providing economic benefits to coastal communities.
Help us to maintain a balanced marine ecosystem!
