Madeira · Atlantic Ocean
Our founding community
Madeira, watched
with care.
Seal Watch began with public reports of Mediterranean monk seals around Madeira and the Desertas Islands.
A record of encounters.
We bring together published reports so people can follow the story over time. A report is an observation, not a count of a different seal, and an attributed name is not independent identity verification.
Conservation response and official monitoring remain with local wildlife teams. Seal Watch is a public archive and is not an emergency response service.
