Divers discovered that seals had chewed through two cage nets near Cross Island, Maine. Cooke Aquaculture, who owns the cages, said that the 'unusually aggressive seal behavior' is result of a significant increase in the seal population across the Gulf of Maine.
A harbor seal pokes its head out of the water in Casco Bay, Thursday, July 30, 2020, off Portland, Maine.
"This is actually the first time that we've ever experienced such an attack by seals, who quite voraciously went after two of our salmon cages to feed," Richardson said. Nichols added that the DMR considers"this an isolated and unusual incident, and we are confident that Cooke has established a suitable corrective plan."
