Public urged not to disturb seals on Lincolnshire coast

People are being urged not to disturb seals on the Lincolnshire coast.

It is common to see seals on the beaches around Cleethorpes at this time of year, as winter pups begin to move towards the coast from their breeding grounds at Donna Nook near North Somercotes.

But North East Lincolnshire Council said disturbing seals could be dangerous, sometimes even fatal, for the animals.

The official asked people to leave the seals alone to rest until they are ready to return to the sea on their own.
