AB - Determination of how animals allocate activities (such as resting, feeding and breeding) to space and time is fundamental for understanding their ecology, their role in ecosystems, and in assessing the impact of their environment on them (e.g. as possibly caused by offshore wind farms).In order to obtain such data in the context of the MINOS2 and MINOS+ project, we equipped harbour seals in the German Bight with dead-reckoners and satellite transmitters to track them while they were hauled out on land and foraging at sea. Typical movement patterns are presented, and possible influences of offshore wind farms are discussed.
