The problem is largely around lone seal pups e.g. anti-social behaviour such as pups being picked up by humans (‘selfie’ culture) or attacked by dogs. Some haulout sites in UK disturbed every 14 minutes. • Impacts include disturbed rest (as seals need time on land), energetic loss, injury, maternal separation, miscarriage and even death. • Solutions include in-situ methods (such as signs, leaflets, rangers, fencing); ex-situ (media releases, social media, public talks, code of conduct); policy and law (site protection, seal protection, enforcement).
