GREY SEALS
Stephen Westcott's job leaves him icy
cold and drenched in salt-water. On a
tiny wave-ski - a self propelled board
that is a cross between a surf-board
and a canoe - he paddles around the
coast of England and Wales looking for
seals. It's a lonely job - he's the
only seal researcher between Land's End
and Anglesey - but it's also vital
work. Through his research for the
Countryside Council for Wales, Stephen
has helped change attitudes towards
seals, which are seen as greedy
fish-snatchers by some and popular
tourist attractions by others.
