Manx Wildlife Trust (MWT) is seeking volunteers to become 'seal sitters' in the Isle of Man, tasked with observing and monitoring seal pups along the coastline. They are also looking for more people to join their marine strandings team. The volunteer role involves staying with seal pups to ensure their well-being and helping with marine conservation work. MWT's data collection from the volunteers has been deemed invaluable and is used for research on seal deaths, disease, contaminations, and reproductive patterns.
