Telemetry data obtained from Fastloc GPS/GSM tracking of 15 harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and 12 grey seals (Halichoerus grypus), captured in Baie de Somme in 2019
Tracking data of 15 harbour seals and 12 grey seals were obtained from the deployment of Fastloc GPS/GSM tags developed by the Sea Mammal Research Unit (UK). Full tag description is available at: http://www.smru.st-andrews.ac.uk/Instrumentation/GPSPhoneTag/. The tags include a wet-dry sensor from which haulout events are recorded, a pressure sensor providing detailed dive data, as well as a Fastloc GPS recording irregular locations when the seal is not underwater. Data is stored onboard and transmitted via the GSM network when the seal is in the reception range. The data provided here are the individual GPS locations of the seals fitted with these tags for an average duration of 106 days.
