English term or phrase: haul-out spots
Context:
"Sea ice creates haul-out spots for seals and hunting grounds for polar bears."

Here's the definition of hauling-out:

Hauling-out is the behaviour associated with pinnipeds (true seals, sea lions, fur seals and walruses), of temporarily leaving the water between periods of foraging activity for sites on land or ice. Hauling-out is necessary in seals for mating (with the exception of the Baikal Seal) and giving birth (though a distinction is generally made between reproductive aggregations, termed "rookeries", and non-reproductive aggregations, termed "haul-outs"). Other benefits of hauling-out may include predator avoidance, thermal regulation, social activity, parasite reduction' and rest.

There is much variety in haul-out patterns among different seal species.[1] Haul-out sites may be segregated by age and sex within the same species
