Join Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust for Winter Seal Surveys

Published On: 28 February 2024Last Updated: 28 February 2024By

The Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust is inviting enthusiasts to participate in their winter seal surveys, an opportunity that promises unique experiences regardless of the weather conditions. Highlighting the captivating nature of seals and their behaviour, the Trust encourages people to engage with local wildlife by joining a survey team. These surveys offer a chance to observe seals up close, providing invaluable insights into their natural habitat and behaviours.

For individuals who live near the coast, participating in a survey team presents a direct way to contribute to conservation efforts and learn more about marine life. However, distance does not preclude participation; the Trust also offers opportunities for remote digital volunteering. This role involves processing photographs into survey albums, allowing those far from the coast to still contribute significantly to the research and preservation of seal populations.

The Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust has made it easy for interested parties to get involved. By emailing seals@cornwallsealgroup.co.uk, individuals can find out how to join the Trust’s free, monthly online Seal SW Sessions. These sessions are designed to provide further information about the surveys, offer newsletters, and grant access to online volunteer training. Through these resources, volunteers can prepare themselves adequately for either fieldwork or digital support roles, depending on their location and availability.

This call to action not only serves as an invitation to participate in important environmental research but also provides a unique educational experience. Volunteers have the chance to contribute to the well-being of the seal population while gaining a deeper understanding of marine ecosystems. The Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust’s efforts in organising these surveys and training sessions underline the importance of community involvement in conservation and research activities.
