The “Seals and Society” is a 12-panel traveling exhibit that offers a window, grounded in the biological sciences and Traditional Ecological Knowledge, into the lives of gray and harbor seals in our coastal ecosystem, their remarkable recovery after having been bountied into near-extirpation by the 1960s, and perceptions of seals today. The exhibit will be open for self-guided tours during Frederick E. Berry Library and Learning Commons hours from April 6-17.
