In a joint project, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Swedish Museum of Natural History and University of Gothenburg will measure the condition of gray seal pups in the Baltic Sea. The project will run for three years.
How are the gray seal pups doing? We’re about to find out. In a new project, researchers from Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, the Swedish Museum of Natural History and University of Gothenburg are collecting footage of the pups in the Baltic Sea. Using drones, they are measuring the length, girth and weight of the pups to get an overview of their condition when they are weaned from their mothers. The project will run for three years.
We accompanied seal researchers from the University of Gothenburg, to Koster. In the archipelago on the Swedish west coast. Koster is one of the places where the harbor seals give birth, at the beginning of summer every year.
Planting new eelgrass in places where it had disappeared can do the trick for wildlife. About 80 percent of the invertebrates have returned in a project on the West Coast
