We are committed to protecting all fish and fisheries from predation by seals in freshwater.
We wish no harm to seals but they are a marine mammal that belongs on the coast and at sea, inland freshwater fisheries cannot sustain them. The seals are also at risk in the long term due to the
unsuitability of the environment and the finite food source available inland.
Seals are a wonderful animal, so let’s be a part of the process of keeping them safe.
Please fill out this form with any sightings of seals and enter as much information as possible. The presence of a tag on the tail and, if possible, tag numbers is vital.
Please include as much information as possible in the description regarding what the seal is doing and where it is located.
Please include sightings from any freshwater fishery, clearly entering the location.
