The Manx Wildlife Trust is asking people to take extra care as baby seals start making an appearance around the Island's coast.
The organisation took to social media to remind people late August to mid-November is seal pupping season.
It's asking people to make sure they give youngsters, and their parents, plenty of space.
In particular, it says dogs should be kept well away from seals - because they can stress marine wildlife and even cause mums to abandon their babies.
