Seals have been seen in Sovereign Harbour which has caused a community group to put up signs for the public.

Seals are often seen in Sovereign Harbour which attracts people and photographers. Most people respect the animals and keep their distance, but sometimes people get too close and a spokesperson for the Sovereign Harbour Residents Association said he’s recently seen people throwing stones at the seals. He said: “Everyone, especially harbour residents, enjoys seeing the seals: it would be such a shame if a few thoughtless and inconsiderate individuals drove them away!”

The association has erected some signs warning people to enjoy them from a distance.
