This year the outer edge of the Ice flow was pushed out of the Gulf and =
off Cape Breton earlier than usual and large volumes passed just off our =
shores heading southwest.
I'd say that the early and large out flows of ice are responsible for =
this years further south than usual deposits of seal carcus'. I'm sure =
most of us along the north eastern shore don't mind sharing this =
early-mid spring abundance.=20
In the next short while if you have a carcus on you beach don't let it =
get above the tide line. You'll be sure to have you're own smelly, oil =
producing, colony of decomposers that will last into mid summer (lots of =
experence). Even though the water is cold it seem to excelerate the =
decomp of the seals while keeping the smell in check (relatively =
speaking). An off shore wind on a falling tide can make it go away.

you've got the recipe for a mass cull.

Subject: [NatureNS] Dead Seal
Hi All,
My sister reports that yesterday, Sunday, as she and her =
husband were going for a stroll, they saw a dead seal (her description, =
smallish, grey) right beside the Conrad's Beach parking area. It was in =
the grassy area. She was surprised to see it there, being so far from =
the ocean, though, she knew there are alot of salt water pools in there =
too.
