Welcome to the website for the Seals, Stigma and Survival: Finding Solutions to the EU Stigmatization of Seal Hunting project; a project funded by the Nordic Arctic Programme. This project involves team members, partners and observers from across the Nordic region and Northern Canada.
This project will explore the stigma associated with seals, seal hunting and sealers in the EU, with the aim to investigate solutions for overcoming the stigma and opening avenues for debate about the current status of the EU seal product import ban.
This website is a central tool in the project. Here you can find information on team members, partners and observers; information on the project’s progress; and access project outputs.
If you would like to know when there are updates as the project progresses, please follow us on X (@SealsandStigma) and on BlueSky (@sealsandsurvival.bsky.social).
