Anyone not watching the football last Sunday night might have seen Humberside Police Rural Task Force Sergeant Jenna Jones on Countryfile.
The Countryfile presenter Tom Heap was on the Yorkshire Coast covering the work of the Partnership Operation Seabird.
Tom (and a cameraman who struggled getting his sea legs) was on board the Yorkshire and the Humber Marine and Underwater Search Unit Cheetah Marine catamaran and spoke with Sergeant Jones about the work being done to protect the marine mammals and seabirds along the Yorkshire coast.
Sergeant Jones said,
“Having this kind of national media coverage of Operation Seabird is really great. It raises the awareness in the general public about the dangers they can pose to our sea mammals and birds.
“People don’t realize that by approaching seals on the beaches is harmful to them and their delicate breading seasons and riding jetskis and taking boats too near to cliffs can cause adult sea birds to leave their nest unattended and effect their eggs and young.
“We are expecting and hoping the great British public come to our coastline and enjoy everything that we can offer, all we ask it that they respect the wildlife and don’t cause any unnecessary suffering to them.”
The programme is available on BBC iPlayer and the section featuring the Yorkshire Coast is about 10 minutes in.
