The Edmonds Seal Sitters (www.edmondssealsitters.org)
is a group of trained volunteers who respond to seals that "haul out", or rest, on the sandy beaches of the Edmonds waterfront.
It is common and natural for seals to do this --- but people should not interact with the seals! Please do not feed seals, give them water, pet them, or try to put them back in the water! Seal Sitters help set up a perimeter to give the seals lots of room to rest, and the volunteers also help educate the public about seal behavior. If you would like information about how to become a Seal Sitter, contact susan.morrow@mac.com. If you find a seal on the beach, you can report it to the Seal Sitters by calling 425-327-3336. |
