For decades, the government stood between the Unangan people and the fur seals they subsist on. But as the seal population declines, the proposed revisions now face opposition from the Humane Society.
Harbor seals use sensors in their whiskers to help discern predator from prey. It's all about the way the water whirls, say scientists who are now training computers to be better trackers, too.
Please do not take selfies with the animals, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration asks. It's pupping season, so there may be a tempting number of seals about this weekend.
