Closed Fund programme to humanely relocate seals found in rivers

Closed on

Through no fault of their own Seals appear to be entering UK rivers more and more, which can impact fish stocks there.

We think this is having an exceptionally detrimental effect on angling and local business and other wildlife and needs to be addressed by relocating them back to other environments.

Fund the humane removal of these seals when identified and place them back into other areas.
