A study of wild seals on the shores of the Isle of Man will be launched in September.

Manx Wildlife Trust are seeking volunteers to take part in a six-week course over the general pupping season to count seal abundance and record their distribution.

Two weeks of data analysis will follow, with the course scheduled to begin in late September.
