Seals are increasingly spotted in London’s Thames — from Greenwich to Windsor — drawing awe but also urgent calls for protection. Marmalade, the golden harbor seal beloved by locals and volunteers, recently passed away from a parasitic disease, sparking renewed advocacy. Groups like the UK Seal Alliance are pushing for stronger legal safeguards against disturbances — from people and pets to drones — that cause stress, energy drain, and even pup abandonment. While current laws prohibit harming seals, they fall short on protecting them from everyday disruptions. With these marine mammals traveling up to 80 miles daily in search of food, it’s clear: giving them space isn’t just kind — it’s critical for their survival in our urban waters.
