Working at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve in Moss Beach, California the Harbor Seals (Phoca vitulina) are a major attraction for visitors who come to the reserve. Education to the public on how to behave around the seals is pertinent to allowing the seals to come back year after year to use our stretch of beach as their rookery. The tidepools create a safe space for the seals to raise their pups and get them ready to explore the open waters on their own.
