Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 49, Issue 2, June 2025.We used an umbilicus‐based method to estimate reliable birth dates in a wild population of harbour seals living in the St. Lawrence estuary between 1998 and 2023. We show that our method is accurate and precise and that it has a great ability to estimate birth dates of pups. This study has important implications for management and it opens the door for
