What to do if a seal is noticed on the coast?

In case you notice a seal, please notify the employees of the Lithuanian Sea Museum. Don't forget to specify the location, the size of the seal and its behaviour. The photos taken by phone would provide us with valuable information as well. Please send information and/or data by e-mail a.grusas@muziejus.lt, l.lupeikaite@muziejus.lt.

In March, migration of seal puppets starts, therefore puppets could be noticed resting on the coast. If a puppet pays no attention to the approaching people, it may be too exhausted.

What should you do?

  • Don't drive a seal back to the water.
  • Don't feed it.
  • Don't touch it.
  • Keep away the puppet from dogs or too curious people. Let it have a rest.
  • If possible, wait till specialists of the above mentioned institutions arrive.
