- Please do not put seal pups in the water – they need to rest on land as they are not strong swimmers yet.
- Please keep Dogs on a lead, and children at a safe distance. Not only do seals bite, but they also carry bacteria and diseases that can transfer to your pets.
- If you think a seal is injured, orphaned or in trouble please call our 24-Hour Rescue Helpline for advice: 087 195 5393
- Please only take photos using a zoom camera, if you get too close, and disturb a seal pup, or nursing mum, it may separate them forever.
- Do not touch seals. Seals can bite, particularly at this time of year when they can be very defensive. They also carry nasty bacteria in their mouths!
