Patrons of the SEALIFE Trust charity, John and Melanie Bishop visited the Cornish Seal Sanctuary to understand more about the work their team does - especially around the rescue, rehabilitation and release of seal pups.
During their visit, John and Mel fell in love with a male pup that recently arrived at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary, and chose the name "Jurgen", maybe after a certain Liverpool Football Club Manager for him.

On 11th June 2021 three seal pups were released back into the wild at Dollar Cove following the completion of their rehabilitation at the Sanctuary!
Gherkin, Noodle and Jambalaya have fully recovered from their injuries and ailments, and are now happily back in the sea where they belong.

Post Release Monitoring of Seals
|
The above information regarding tagged seals seen in the wild is copyright of the CSGRT.
By monitoring the behaviour of seals after release back into the wild, the Cornish Seal Sanctuary and the CSGRT can use this information to define the best practice standards and policies that they can share with the international rescue community.
Each seal´s fur pattern is unique and enables the CSGRT volunteers track them for life.
Seals face many challenges, yet we all depend on them to balance our marine ecosystem, this is essential to make the oxygen we breathe.
Seals are our globally rare wildlife tourist attraction, helping diversify coastal economic prosperity.
