dc.description.abstract |
An opportunistic observational study on human disturbance
of a vagrant southern elephant seal that
was hauled out on a tourist beach in Mossel Bay,
South Africa, is presented. Incidences of pedestrians
ignoring signage and the demarcation barrier
around the seal raise questions about the management
of such haulout events, pubic safety and the
effects of disturbance. |
