Seal Group Meeting 28 : Consultation time!
Agenda items included
Our 28th meeting took place on 25th June 2008 at the CPR Learning Space. We welcomed our 59th member. CSG is being asked on a regular basis to consult about various legislative or planning issues on behalf of wild seals. We are delighted that our research is proving beneficial to the seals that we study. Seals have far too good a time in the wild to worry about what humans are up to!
Nelson : Seal Ambassador
Bandana Seal*
Please tell us if you see her!
Turtles too! Dink just before his release
If you would like to become an active member of the Cornwall Seal Group, want to come to our next meeting, have any information for us, want to ask us a question about the seals you see or just want to say you support what we are doing, we'd love to hear from you.
