Seals in the Inner Hebrides
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 July 2012
Synopsis
About 10% of the British grey seal population and 20% of the British common seal population breed around the Inner Hebrides. Grey seals occur on the more exposed coasts whereas common seals inhabit the more sheltered waters and the inner reaches of sea lochs. There is some evidence of an increase in grey seal numbers, but there are insufficient data to assess the exact status of the common seal.
