Seal pup season arrives in the Channel – advice on what to do if you see a seal pup

Submitted by Steve on 15:03, 4th Oct, 2024 | 0

As autumn returns to the Channel islands so do seal pups being born along our shores.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We once again start to see seal pups being born along our shores in the Channel islands and the GSPCA want to ensure they get the best start in life.”

“Last year we had the busiest season we have ever seen in our 151 years.”

“It is so important when around our coast not to disturb seal pups and especially their Mums as many casualties are due to Mums being driven off beaches and the pups left to fend for themselves too early.”
