SEAL conservation groups have urged Dorset residents to do the right thing and give the young seal pup who reappeared this weekend some space. The Jurassic Coast s resident seal popped up at Hive Beach in Burton Bradstock on Sunday, March 7. The Seal Project, Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust and British Divers Marine Life Rescue have issued a joint statement, asking people to keep their distance from the animal. The groups said: This juvenile male grey seal has been frequenting areas of Dorset and South Devon and has become a focus for a lot of public attention. He needs to rest on land to digest any food he has been able to catch, but he still has to learn what to eat and how to catch it.

Thank you for inviting me back to speak at this year’s Ocean Recovery event, and to celebrate the work that has been going on across our marine space. I join you today at the beginning of an exciting new era for the UK, and at a time where the ocean is central to supporting a healthy marine environment alongside a successful fishing industry.
Sunburst sun rays through leaves of large green tree in autumn A series of projects in the south west that protect landscapes and wildlife, connect people with nature and help to create and retain green jobs have secured millions of pounds of funding. The government is providing nearly £40million to 68 projects across England in the first round of the Green Recovery Challenge Fund. Over 800,000 trees will be planted and damaged habitats such as moorlands, wetlands and forests will be restored. The projects will also support conservation work and help to improve education about the environment. Eight south west-based organisations have secured funding towards ten projects.
