Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly were explored for grey seal breeding locations during the 1973 breeding season. The primary aim of this study was to revisit these recorded breeding sites, locate new ones and obtain an up-to-date estimate of the population. a secondary objective was to tag as many pups as possible to investigate relationships between different populations of seals. The database includes abundance of seals found and location according to National Grid Reference.
