Bridlington: Rescuers search for entangled seal pup spotted by drone

Dec 7,2021 3:45 am

Rescuers are trying to find a tangled seal pup spotted by a drone on the Yorkshire Coast this weekend.

The Pilot sighted the pup in Fraisthorpe, near Bridlington, at about 14:30 GMT on Saturday.

He alerted British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), which deployed a team to search for the creature.

Unfortunately, the pup has not been captured and beach-goers are being asked to report any further sightings.

Emily Mayman, from The Charity , said images taken by The Drone pilot and sent to its Control Room , proved " extremely useful" helping coordinate its response.

She Said : " The pup was seen repeatedly leaving and entering the water, before swimming north towards Bridlington.

" We sent teams to both Fraisthorpe and Bridlington, but unfortunately we have been unable to locate the pup. "

Ms Mayman said, from the pictures, the pup will be in pain and added entanglements often prove fatal.

She Said : " The entanglement doesn't grow with the pup so over a period of time it will cut deeper into The Flesh . This often causes huge infections. "

Increase in entanglements

Ms Mayman said teams have seen in increase in wildlife entanglements in recent years.

" We're seeing between 10 and 12 entanglements a year now, " She Said . " Five years ago, we were getting four or five a year. "

She Said it is unclear whether rising Grey Seal Numbers - known for being inquisitive mammals and and prone to getting Caught Up in objects they Explore - or a possible increase In Line discardment is responsible.

Ms Mayman added The Team , while searching the area, were able to rescue another pup with a severe eye infection.

If anyone does spot the entangled pup, they are advised not to approach it and instead contact BDMLR for advice.
