CASE STUDY 1- January 2020

ARCTIC SEAL; Hooded Seal stranded at Tooremor, Schull, West Cork on the 1st of January 2020.

Helen Tilson from Schull Sea Safari reported the stranding to Seal Rescue Ireland who called ORCA Ireland to investigate the stranding. We conducted a gross examination, took measurements and blubber samples. Thanks to the local fisherman we transported the 300 kg animal back to UCC’s lab for post-mortem examination.

Due to COVID-19 we have had to delay the pm until restrictions ease.
