A 2009 Chrysochou Bay record describes a dead pup. A 2016 Cape Plakoti field account describes an adult female.
A 23 January 2018 Paphos report describes a harbour sighting. A 2 February report says a young pup was later seen swimming with its mother. North-coast study records describe monitored encounters with exact sites withheld.

Map markers are broad area references, never positions of seals. Records labelled “Cyprus” have no single map point when a source gives only an island-wide area or a site is withheld. They remain available through the archive filters.
A record’s date may be an encounter, report or carcass discovery date. Its label and notes explain what the source supports. Reports do not measure the number of different seals or a population trend.
Visitor submissions are reviewed privately. Publication is a separate editorial step.
