Overview

Analysis reveals increasing human interaction cases in pinnipeds while overall strandings decline.

Key Points

  • Human interaction cases involving pinnipeds have increased significantly, with 135 documented incidents.
  • More than half of human interaction cases involved entanglement in fishing gear or debris during the study period.
  • Over 1,400 live pinniped strandings were recorded in New York, with a notable increase in cases occurring in recent years.
  • A positive correlation exists between pinniped strandings and boat access points, highlighting human impact on wildlife.
