The Directorate General of Biodiversity of the Government of Cantabria has echoed the statements of the International Union for Conservation of Nature, which has determined the growth and expansion of seal populations, "which will become the most common presence on the coast, which come to rest. "
preferences of these animals for sheltered coastlines, bays, beaches and other places of minor streams, and their tendency to approach human settlements, are factors that will facilitate the increased presence of these animals on the shores of the region.
