Satellite Imagery Reveals South Georgia's Elephant Seal Population Assessment

Satellite imagery has delivered the first comprehensive count of South Georgia's elephant seals in nearly three decades, and the numbers carry weight. We estimate 107,630 breeding females, down from 113,444 in 1995, but the authors rightly caution against reading this as stability. The census followed highly pathogenic avian influenza through the region, so this is a perturbed population, not a baseline. It is a reminder that remote, challenging sites need innovative tools.
