“Sadly, many species are declining, including the common seal, which is occasionally reported in the River Adur.
“To find out more about these elusive mammals, we assisted in an electronic seal tagging project in 2009 to monitor their movements.
“We will consider the findings of this exciting project and how it will help us to protect seals in the future.”
