This is a must read! I Spoke w/ Prof Buchmann about seals & parasites & learned that his work includes a fascinating situation where a man very likely contracted a seal-borne parasite in his nose after swimming around seals (and their feces). Didn't know this was possible!

Thinking about going for swim in the ocean or sea this summer? Read “Parasitic Nose Worms: Seal to Human Transfer of Parasites” first & learn more about seals & parasites in the waters of the Baltics and the research of KU Prof Kurt Buchmann survivingsealingstigma.com/2025/06/26/par… @UCPH_Research

"After an evening of midnight sun, icebergs & humpback whales, our engine ran dry. We drifted into Oqaatsut, where this kind gentleman not only sold us fuel for our little boat, but also shared his freshly caught seal." 📷 & caption by photo contest winner, Aviaaja Schlüter.

Sad to read this news today that the HOA will not be replacing the old seats with new sealskin coverings. @DakinsDion @SealsandStigma @GovNL #sealskin #sealing #heritage vocm.com/2025/05/28/gov…

Check out the @DanitaBurke1 @CWSWarStudies interview #InfoNorth with NL documentarian Anne Troake and her work on highlighting and representing those silenced and harmed by anti-sealing activism #survivingsealingstigma @IslandRooms @FurInstitute survivingsealingstigma.com/?p=143

FACT: Ever wonder why prices of each seal pelts varies and how those variations are determined? At Carino, this machine enables a precise measurement for each pelt to determine price per sq ft. @DakinsDion @CANSealProducts @FurInstitute @CanadianSealers @FFAW_Unifor @CoastalRpg

It was a pleasure to visit Norwegian-Canadian seal processing company Carino @DakinsDion for @SealsandStigma & learn about their work & role in the preservation, promotion & protection of local sealing/fishing TK @IslandRooms @yytsnf @CoastalRpg @FFAW_Unifor @CWSWarStudies @GovNL
