  1. a: median(± interquartile range)
  2. b: mean(± standard deviation)
  3. Metrics include the number of tagged seals (N), total trips (n), trip duration, length, core (50%) and home range (95%) trip areas, distance to shore, number of trips within wind energy areas (wind energy area), and the probability of occurrence within wind energy areas. Median (IQR) are reported for metrics with heavily skewed distributions and mean (sd) are reported, where distributions were normally distributed
