Most Valuable Herd in World Seals Under U S Control
Dr. Hugh M. Smith notes in National Geographic that the largest herd belongs to the United States on the Pribilof Islands in the north Pacific. After wartime slaughter, the herd recovers under an international accord to near prewar numbers, with over 100,000 young seals added in summer 1916 and the total exceeding 400,000. The landfall is two islets in the Bering Sea, giving the U S government a unique claim. When the 1917 clone-time law ends, commercial use may expand to young male seals, benefiting skins and other products.
