After the tragic dog attack on Freddie the seal that happened on the Thames foreshore in March, we have invited three special guests. 
Alison Debney from the Zoological Society London talks about populations of seals in the Thames and the surveys that are happening. She is followed by Paul Hyman Director of Active360 who speaks about his favourite encounters with seals whilst out paddleboarding on the river.
