After toxic levels of mercury were found in an Admiralty Island harbor seal in 2015, conservationists and subsistence hunters are still wondering if a Juneau-based mine is to blame.

If you harbor an interest in seals, there’s a Wednesday night program for you.

At 7 p.m. Jan. 2, in University of Alaska Southeast’s Egan Lecture Hall, 11066 Auke Lake Way, Bob Armstrong will give a presentation about harbor seal behavior.

The free, hourlong presentation is part of the Wildlife Wednesday series and will be open to the public.
