Diving behavior of harbor seals, specifically the proportion of time spent per depth range, determined by satellite-linked time-depth recorder (TDR) and GPS receivers, for dives made by seals near Protection Island, WA, 2009

<p>In 2009, the diving behavior of harbor seals was monitored near Protection Island, in WA state. Data include the percent of time spent by individual seals at different depth ranges. The diving data are summarized into four 6-hour time periods per day.</p>
