Cod Vs. Seal

Description

A symbolic cod statue stands on the banks of the harbor in Port au Choix, which has become a temporary habitat for hundreds of seals, including newborn pups. These harp seals, estimated at over four million of them, remain a central topic of discussion in Newfoundland’s cold fishing waters, where ongoing debates focus on their impact on cod populations, the implications for fishing quotas, and the most effective strategies for managing both species.
