	note = {In 1980, Oregon State University researchers developed an acoustic harassment device to deter harbor seals from feeding at hatcheries and gill nets.  This device was used to keep harbor seals away from an experimental chum salmon hatchery at Whiskey Creek.  It kept most, but not all seals away: by 1984, one to three seals would feed on the salmon, despite the deterrence.  In 1985, researchers ran an experiment.  They forced all the seals out of Netarts Bay and set up five devices at the entrance.  Due to battery and electrical problems, several of the devices were not working through much of the experiment.  The experiment ran for a week and about two-thirds of the seals stayed out of the bay while the partial deterrence was functioning.  },

	note = {"Patterns of seasonal abundance of harbor seals at Netarts and Tillamook Bays, Oregon, were documented by recording numbers of seals hauling out on tidally exposed sand flats in both bays. . .  In general, benthic and epibenthic fish appeared to be important in the harbor seal diet. Distributions, abundances, and estimated sizes of identified prey species indicated that harbor seals had fed both in Netarts Bay and in the nearshore ocean. Movements of radio-tagged harbor seals between Netarts Bay and Tillamook Bay were common (45.4\% of tagged seals made at least one move between bays). Tagged harbor seals frequented at least four different estuaries and one coastal haul-out area, ranging from 25 to 550 km from the tagging area." (from the Abstract)},
