Default Seals by the CG station

There is a lot of seals by the CG station off SH. They can be seen often on the rocks during low tide. Does anyone know what they might be feeding on? Someone told me they are feeding on bunkers but I think they it's to late in the season for that? I'm just hoping they are not chowing down on what little winter flounder we have left in the bay.

Been taking the wife to take pics of the seals for weeks. They are chowing down on everything. And by everything I mean everything.

Including winter flounder!!! I don't remember them being in the sandy hook area in these numbers? Since there doesn't to seem to be apex predators in the bay it could be a problem!

A population of 100+ harbor seals - you can easily count 20+ on the right day, and there's many more you can't see - cannot be sustained without abundant forage. Bunker, herring, peanuts, holdover stripers, micro blackfish, winter flounder...you name it. If it is there, they're eating it!

If they stay long enough, great white sharks will eat them like they do on Cape Cod.
