Alix Morris spends a year with these magnetic creatures and brings them to life, season by season, as she learns about their intelligence, their relationships with each other, their ecosystems, and the changing climate.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;Along with the seals themselves, Morris explores the competing interests in the debate about newly recovered seal populations in our coastal waters: from local fisherman whose catch is often diminished by savvy seals, to tribes who once relied on seal-hunting for food, clothing, and medicine, this is a rare look at what happens when conservation efforts actually work, and how human tampering with ecosystems continues to have unexpected consequences.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57487920005493,"sku":"9781785127663","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781785127663.jpg?v=1786355142","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/a-year-with-the-seals","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
