Hi @BBCSpotlight, great to see coverage of the #Looe Flood Defence scheme on Spotlight, but disappointed to see the significant #environmental impacts not mentioned, despite most interviews saying the preferred scheme is overkill… @LooeMCG @CwallWildlife @WSP_UK – at South West, England

A disturbed seal at worst will flee to avoid situation where they have become worried or felt unsafe.
Fleeing can be dangerous, especially if a seal was on land.

If a seal is looking at you, it has been disturbed. It is trying to determine if you’re a threat – so now it’s time to move further away.

This is how a seal should look when hauled on land. It's relaxed, resting to save energy and to save up food reserves needed for breeding season.
