* We defined the northern boundary of the Bering Sea as latitude N 65° 45’. Some seals crossed this boundary more than once. As such, the date of entering the Bering Sea was defined as the last date a seal crossed south of N 65° 45’ before its SDR ceased transmitting (e.g., the battery failed or the seal molted).
