Zusammenfassung:Again in 2007 the surveys to monitor developments in the harbour seal Phoca vitulina population in the entire Wadden Sea were trilaterally co-ordinated and synchronously carried out according to the Seal mangement Plan. The nearly simultaneous surveys in the four subregions revealed the following results: the maximum number counted in the moulting period (August) was 4,159 in The Netherlands, 4,561 in Niedersachsen/Hamburg, 6,386 in Schleswig-Holstein, and 2,499 in Denmark. This brings the grand total to 17,605 harbour seals.
