This talk is aimed at sharing observations of natural wild seal behaviour gathered over two decades. If we begin to imagine what it might be like to be a seal, we can better appreciate what seals need from us. Beautifully illustrated and with video content, discover the links seals make between sea and land, their main behavioural drivers, and how their/our world is changing. We end with an optimistic ‘plan for the future’ to ensure this wild marine heritage species thrives, giving future generations something to smile about.
Tutor: Sue Sayer
Sue is an internationally renowned researcher and author. For over 20 years, she has spent thousands of hours observing seals in the wild from land and at sea in Cornwall. To Sue, there is no such thing as an average seal. Each one looks different, has an individual personality, range of habits and migration route around the Celtic Sea! In 2000, Sue founded the Seal Research Trust in Cornwall.
