Transition matrix showing the mean (±standard deviation) of the probability of seals transiting from one habitat type (Fine (mud/sand), Coarse (gravel/mixed), Rock (rock/till)) to another.

For example, dives over fine substrate will occur sequentially with a probability of 0.044 (±0.051). Values in bold along the diagonal represent the probability of dives over the same sediment type being repeated sequentially. Unclassified benthic habitats are included to avoid bias that would otherwise be introduced by removal of two sediment types interspersed by unclassified benthos between them.
