# Talk:Seal Island, Anguilla

"It is located some two kilometres to the west of the Prickly Pear Cays".
What?
I looked it up on Google Maps.  It looks to be three to four kilometers EAST.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.181.25.30 (talk) 02:21, 7 January 2011 (UTC) 

@Arconning:, while doing research, did you find any mention of actual seals? TSventon (talk) 20:44, 19 June 2025 (UTC)

@TSventon Sadly no! I believe it's just the name. Arconning (talk) 03:45, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
Apparently the Caribbean monk seal, now extinct, preferred isolated islands, so it could have given a name to this island, but I couldn't find a source either. TSventon (talk) 12:21, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

There is no mention of seals, and it is not a place I would expect to find them, so why the name? · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 15:40, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

It is broad, I could only find passing mentions in sources not present on this article
Lead summarizes article properly and is of an appropriate size
File:Anguilla location map.svg - CC-BY-SA 2.0
prose checks out, I linked coral disease
1, 2, 3, 4, 9 source
source 8 does not pass, passing mention, doesn't say popular, and doesn't seem reliable so i removed it@Arconning:
Source 3 has some more info, but that pertains more to the anguilla bank than Seal island itself
No copyvios, only the "Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources" flares but its a proper name
