Harbor seals play a crucial role in marine ecosystems as both predators and prey, helping to maintain the balance of species populations in their habitats. They contribute to nutrient cycling through their foraging activities, which can stimulate the growth of marine vegetation. Additionally, harbor seals are important indicators of environmental health, as changes in their populations can reflect shifts in ocean conditions and ecosystem dynamics. Their presence also supports local economies through ecotourism and wildlife observation.
