Seal number on the increase
The number of seals in the Wadden Sea is back to 2002 levels, when almost half the population was killed by a mysterious virus. Marine wildlife monitor Imares says it has counted 4,065 common and 1,768 grey seals this year. Grey seals from the Wadden Sea have been spotted off the Orkney Islands.
