Dead Seal Pups

Just seen that all the 20 odd of them died at Seal Sand and Greatham this year. With all the dead crustations i just wonder if there is a connection somewhere and if its something serious are we being kept in the dark.

Seems such a shame. Hopefully the investigations into this will find out what exactly is happening.

I wonder how the crab etc die back affected the seal population on Teesside?

Why are the Tees seals having this problem but not those living further up the coast?

Its strange but i have just been listening to Radio Tees who covered this story on the news and the next report was about the fisherman demanding compensation for the crab die off.
