Galápagos · Seal Watch

The Galápagos watch.

Follow published seal observations from the Galápagos, or send your own sighting to the Seal Watch team.

A record of encounters.

Ecuador’s Galápagos archipelago and its surrounding waters. Mainland Ecuador is outside this community.

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.

Each regional archive contains its own reports. Visitor submissions are reviewed privately; publication is a separate editorial step. New records appear here as they are published.
