Our Mission: The Seal Project was set up to monitor and reduce negative impact factors affecting grey seals and raise awareness of the importance of protecting this globally rare species. Give wildlife space. Do not feed wild seals. Be kind. <a href="https://www.thesealproject.org/"><a href="https://www.thesealproject.org/" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.thesealproject.org/</a></a>  <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1624717833833888_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1624717833833888_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> Our current areas of focus: 1. To raise awareness of the impacts of the upcoming tourist season, recording and reacting to human disturbance and working with wider networks to develop the amount of knowledge among local visitors 2. To maintain and improve our wildlife survey boat, an intrinsically important tool in our research work.  3.  To educate local groups and more widely via conferences, online work and webinars. 4. To continue to research and identify visiting seals, sharing that data with networking study groups and conservation organisations, How your contribution will help: Our wildlife survey boat needs funding for the following -  Increasing the survey season by applying an awning -  maintenance and servicing -  Continuing mooring fees and insurances Follow our progress on our facebook page <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesealprojectuk"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesealprojectuk" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/thesealprojectuk</a></a>  <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1624717932306601_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1624717932306601_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> About <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesealprojectuk/">The Seal Project</a>: Grey seals are a globally rare species with an estimated population of just <a href="http://www.pinnipeds.org/seal-information/species-information-pages/the-phocid-seals/grey-seal">300,000</a>  across the Atlantic. The UK hosts around 38% of the global population. There are fewer grey seals than African elephants in the wild. Our waters are crucial to the survival of this species. If we want to enjoy African elephants on safari, we expect local people to look after them on our behalves and we must do the same for globally rare grey seals on our patch. Find out more on our website <a href="https://www.thesealproject.org/about"><a href="https://www.thesealproject.org/about" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.thesealproject.org/about</a></a> or on our facebook @thesealprojectuk. Educational resources Hundreds of volunteer hours go into creating educational resources that will widen knowledge about seals from their life cycles, behaviours to the habitats they choose to live in, pup in and avoid. Let us know if you would like us to present our skeletons or resource boxes to your group or organisation. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1624719689824032_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1624719689824032_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /> <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1570363811754710_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1570363811754710_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVE4SxDGuSY&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;fbclid=IwAR0kv6iI0DZV6cJYUVjAQSG8JYEFgxRTOEjfa8GrZuJjN0VauJzQVt1w1S8">Watch our 5 minute Short Film here</a>  . Film and photography knowledge Our volunteers have built an extensive knowledge of photographic survey and the use of film to raise awareness. Your donation will enable us to continue finding impactful ways to share the wildlife world of our local coasts. Contact us if we can help you develop your own skills. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1570363944701377_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1570363944701377_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />With our 600mm photography lenses we can study seals  from a safe distance to prevent potential for disturbance. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1570364003487567_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1570364003487567_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />Contact us if you would like us to give a talk about  local coastal habitats. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1570364018661696_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1570364018661696_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />Showcasing the dynamic environment of a grey seal in Brixham Harbour. We aim to further understand behaviour and and how best to protect them during their visit to Torbay. About Our Local Ecosystem: Torbay is a unique coastal space, hosting a rich variety of coastal habitats and marine species in its designated Marine Conservation Zone andnumerous Sites of Special Scientific Interest It’s many land and marine diverse habitats have been recovering in recent decades with improved water quality enabling some species to re-establish themselves. Biodiversity is essential for maintaining a healthy ecosystem, which not only keeps us alive, it is fundamental for a profitable fishing industry and thriving tourist income.  <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1570364139173775_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1570364139173775_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />We are very fortunate in Torbay to have such a contrast between a busy port  and serene natural habitats. We aim to better understand their transient           behaviours and share with local industry and the community to create opportunity for humans and wildlife to co-exist safely and sustainably. Interesting project Information: Grey seals are a mobile species which  travel year round. There are a handful of exceptions to this in Torbay where individual seals have been habituated by humans and had their behaviour changed for life. Habituated seals are often observed in close proximity to humans begging for food. This is not their natural behaviour and is a direct result of the negative impact of human interaction. <img src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/42417480_1570460618194714_r.jpeg" alt="42417480_1570460618194714_r.jpeg" width="100%" media_type="3" />One of the numerous signs placed by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thesealprojectuk/">The Seal Project</a> in association with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/torbaycouncil/">Torbay Council</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/torbayharbour/">Torbay Harbour Authority</a> this summer to help reduce negative human impact factors affecting grey seals in Torbay and surrounding area. In a time of global ecological crisis, it is essential we influence and act to preserve species which inhabit and visit our delicate coastal environments. Humans are beginning to understand how they can adapt to overcome these issues by applying transferable skills to sustainable methods of land and marine use. Heritage, customs and traditions are important to coastal villages and towns and communities. Finding sustainable solutions to reduce environmental challenges will protect our communities. Your contribution makes a huge impact and we really appreciate this community support.
