Bearded Seal Distribution

Data provided by  National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

This dataset contains GIS layers that depict the known spatial distributions (i.e., ranges) of the two subspecies of bearded seals (Erignathus barbatus). It was produced as part of a U.S. Endangered Species Act status review, which included delineating the species in question and assessing its risk of extinction within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Its boundaries are based on previously published range maps and/or descriptions of the species' distribution in published or unpublished accounts. All boundaries should be considered approximate. The approximate North American boundary between the two sub-species was changed to 130W (from 112W), based a re-analysis of the genetic data.
