AFTER a challenging year, a Cornwall based seal research group is celebrating after receiving over £75,000 from the government to help people have 'amazing' experiences with seals without impacting their habitat.
Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust (CSGRT) received a grant of £75,700 from the government’s £80 million Green Recovery Challenge Fund for its ‘People Protecting Precious Places’ project.
The money will be used to:
• Help people have amazing seal experiences without impact
• Create ‘Watching Seals Well’ resources (website, signs, leaflets)
• Learn about human interaction with seals by collecting critical research evidence
• Tell seal stories to motivate us all to ‘Give Seals Space’ and be ‘Seal Friendly’
