	note = {The Pacific harbor seal is one of the most abundant marine mammals in Oregon. Despite a booming population and an evolving regulatory environment, there is a lack of contemporary studies on the space use of these animals.  {\textquotedblleft}Here, we utilize satellite telemetry data gathered from 24 adult Pacific harbor seals captured at two sites on the Oregon coast from September 2014 to May 2016 to describe the general spatial habitat use by Pacific harbor seals in this understudied portion of their range. To do this we 1) define and describe home range and core areas for Pacific harbor seals from these sites, 2) quantify hauling out behavior and use of the open ocean versus riverine, bay and estuarine environments by study animals, and 3) examine intersite differences is spatial use from animals captured at two prominent but geologically-different haulout locations.{\textquotedblright} (p.3).  },

	note = {Understanding the diets of different species is essential for wildlife managers. Managers need to know what is eaten and when and where it is consumed. This paper contributes to our understanding of the diet of harbor seals by reviewing over eighty years of scientific literature on this topic. Seasonal and spatial variations in diet are noted, and the issue of harbor seal predation on salmonids is explored. The article is available by contacting the authors through ResearchGate.},
