There's a new reality show based on the coast of Maine.

While it doesn't feature fowl royalty, pawn shop hijinks or Kardashians, it does feature a type of survivor.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, along with Explore.org, have recently launched a live Web cam on Seal Island to document a winter in the life of a gray seal pup. The island is off the coast of Maine near Matinicus Island.

The site features a live look at the action on Seal Island from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will keep up the feed until early February.

That means the season is tailored around when the seals are there, NOAA Communications Specialist Shelley Dawicki said.

“The pupping season occurs during a six-week window (mid-December to early February),” she said. “Females give birth to one pup, (and) nurse it for about two to three weeks, (then) mate and leave the island.”

During that time, online viewers can check in on the small pups while they remain on the island, Dawicki said.

“The weaned pups stay ashore for another one to two weeks,” she said. “So, both pupping and mating are taking place during this time period.”

But the cam isn't just to watch the pups for fun; there's work being done every day, Dawicki said.

“Seal researchers hope to learn more about the progression of the pupping season (including pup molt information) and gain information on individual movements through the region and pupping and breeding behavior,” she said.

After February, the seals will move on; gray seals, like a number of other marine mammals, do migrate, Dawicki said.

Seal Island is located approximately 20 miles off the coast of Rockland and is open only to the seals and birds. Although they do wash ashore from time-to-time, gray seals are uncommon visitors to Boothbay Harbor.
