Here are some specific ways that female seals may respond to human disturbance:
* They may move their birthing sites to more remote areas, where they are less likely to be disturbed.
* They may give birth earlier or later than usual, to avoid the peak tourist season.
* They may produce fewer pups, or their pups may have lower survival rates, due to the stress of human disturbance.
* They may become more aggressive towards humans, in order to protect their pups.
In order to minimize the impact of human disturbance on seals, it is important to avoid disturbing them during their breeding season. This means staying away from beaches where seals are known to give birth, and keeping noise levels to a minimum. It is also important to educate people about the importance of protecting seals and their habitat.
