In those years the colony on the Gulf of Orosei was made by more than 40 specimens. Unfortunately, the rising of massive tourism and the local fishermen behaviour made the seal move to safer places: they are no longer present in the Gulf Of Orosei. However, monk seal are a migratory species: we are working on stronger regulation to create them a better habitat for the future.
Although there have been no regular presences in the last 20 years, the migratory character of these "fast swimmers" make it possible to see them, especially in the months of lower touristic presence. Keep your eyes open during your excursions in the Gulf of Orosei: it's difficult to see a seal, but is possible and easier to spot dolphins and other species that live in our beautiful sea.
