Seven seal carcasses were reported in the Magdalen Islands and one in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region over the weekend of April 4. In the archipelago, the large number of carcasses discovered over a short period and over a short distance was a red flag for members of the Quebec Marine Mammal Emergency Response Network (RQUMM) call centre.<\/p>\n
Thanks to visual documentation provided by witnesses, we were able to contact seal specialists as early as Saturday afternoon, April 4. These experts were able to respond quickly. The rapid follow-up of cases by the Network and its partners is evidence that, even if the measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19 are limiting our response capacities, we are still able to continue our mission.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
