About this record
- Supporting evidence
- Original pages show the same observer and Barnstable County outing at 4:36–4:56 PM EDT on 3 June 2017; grouped as one encounter. The first source photograph shows one Grey Seal with visible trailing fishing gear and its source notes entanglement; the second source reports a group of six but the photograph shows distant heads. Count remains unset because overlap is unknown. No advice or condition inference is added.
