The Manx Wildlife Trust is urging people to 'do something to save our seals'.
The charity is raising funds to save and sustain the seal population living in Manx waters - it's part of the Living Seas Programme.
It says the better it can understand factors such as breeding success, seasonal distribution and occurrence of disease, the better it can protect the mammals.
Chief executive Tim Graham says this is particularly important with the potential development of renewable projects in Manx waters:
