How to watch seals safely
Seals can be disturbed if people or dogs get too close, cause too much noise, or startle them. Disturbance can happen from the land, sea, and air - so we need to watch them with caution.
General guidance for visiting our nature reserves so you can make sure you have a great time while respecting wildlife and leaving the habitat in the best possible state.

While the vast majority of people who visit our reserves, do so respectfully, we have seen an increase in anti-social behaviour. Please help us by reporting damage to us immediately and if you see anything suspicious, call the police.
