SEPTEMBER - APRIL : DON´T MISS THE SANCTUARY´S RESCUED SEAL PUPS
The grey seals mating season begins around September time, this also coincides with rougher seas and storms approaching. What this means is that during this time the staff get a lot of seal pup call outs. The British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) and the Cornish Seal Sanctuary rescues between 70 and 80 pups each year. As the leading Seal Rescue Centre in Europe and the only one in Cornwall, the sanctuary then becomes home to these pups while they are rehabilitated until they are ready for release. The hospital and pools will be full and it´s the perfect time to for a visit.
