     Marine Mammals

Nine species of marine mammals regularly frequent the waters of the park. The Beluga and the Harbour Seal live here year round.

Three of these species are pinnipeds: the Harbour Seal, Grey Seal and Harp Seal. The other six are cetaceans: the Beluga, Harbour Porpoise, Minke Whale, Fin Whale, Blue Whale and Humpback Whale.

Other marine mammals can occasionally be seen: sperm whales, white-sided dolphins, hood seals and right whales. There have even been rare sightings of the Long-finned Pilot Whale, White-beaked Dolphin and Killer Whale.
