The breeding season for monk seals in the Desertas Islands has a peak in October. In November / December the new animals are observed in their first outings to the sea. This is the best time to monitor the population and know how many new animals it has.

This year the state of the sea has made this work difficult. However, the phototraping cameras placed in the reproduction caves, in the framework of the LIFE Madeira Monk Seal, will allow to have a correct information of the number of births during 2018.
