When you find...
Seals in distress or dead
Important: Remember that if you see a seal that is hauled out of the water, it may not be distressed or dead. Do not approach the seal under any circumstances, if you have a dog, make sure it's on a lead, and if possible return it to your car, or have a partner take it away from the area. If the dog starts barking this will distress a seal, and cause it to move away.
If you wanted to know more about seals in Devon contact The Seal Project, if you are in Cornwall contact the Cornish Seal Group. If you think the animal is in distress contact the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR).
Whale or Dolphin - Stranded or Dead
ALIVE - Important: If you find a cetacean that is still alive, please do not approach it. Call the BDMLR immediately. Please keep other people away from the animal while you are calling. You will receive instructions from the expert on the hotline.
