Seals elicit contrary feelings in humans. Some people look at seals as cute and playful denizens of the sea, while folks like fishermen despise the creatures for depleting fish stocks and attracting sharks. Tonight’s guest on Inquiry is science writer ALIX MORRIS. She spent a year traveling to both coasts to learn about seals and the humans that intersect with their lives. Her new book is: A YEAR WITH SEALS: UNLOCKING THE SECRETS OF THE SEA’S MOST CHARISMATIC AND CONTROVERSIAL CREATURES.
