Sovereignty of the island is disputed with ownership claimed by both Canada and the United States. There is an effective presence of Canadian personnel on the island....Machias Seal Island is a barren island and devoid of trees. Because of its location at the boundary between the Gulf of Maine and the Bay of Fundy, Machias Seal Island is fog-bound for many days of the year. It is also a sanctuary for seabirds such as Atlantic Puffins, Razorbills, Common Murres, Common and Arctic Terns, Leach's Storm-petrels and Common Eiders.
