Save our Seals
During the pupping season, if you are visiting the coast around the UK, you may well see newborn pups, can we remind you that the pups may look cute, but they have sharp teeth that carry harmful bacterial.

They can also be easily disturbed and lose their mum, so please keep your distance and help look after our wonderful marine life!
