Look who's in town 😎
The seal, which has been given the name Stella, was spotted over the Coronation weekend and has remained in the harbour since, giving people a chance to get pictures and video.
In a social media post, Whitehaven Marina warned visitors to the harbour to ‘refrain from trying to get close to her’ reminding people it is ‘against the law to touch, feed or otherwise harass seals’. A rope has now been put up by the slipway which looks to stop people getting too close to the seal.A marina spokesperson said: “As most of you are aware we have a returning visitor here in Whitehaven Marina, Stella the seal.
“Please can we kindly ask that you refrain from trying to get close to her, keep a wide distance if you do spot her in the water or surrounding areas. She comes in and out for a good feed and certainly knows her way around. She is a lovely addition who must feel safe here so we would like to keep it that way.”Pictures and video captured of Stella show she's quite at home in the harbour and has been enjoying the sun.
