People are getting too close to seals on Manx shores.
That's the message from the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture and The Manx Wildlife Trust.
Under the Wildlife Act 1990 it's an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb particular wild animals, including seals.
The charity is asking those who wish to 'seal-watch' to keep your distance and use binoculars if you wish to 'get close'.
MWT and DEFA work closely together, with a dedicated group of island-wide volunteers, to collect information on stranded marine mammals and provide protective supervision over vulnerable pups or tired and sick adult seals.
