The Solent Seal

The Solent Seal

Posted in: Artwork

Meet the Solent Sea, a lively and lovable character who calls the waters off Southsea his home. This cheeky young seal spends his days chasing fish and enjoying the vibrant marine life of the Solent. But there’s more to this big, blubbery seal than meets the eye. He is also a passionate protector of our shores.

The Solent Seal loves his home and wants to keep it clean for everyone to enjoy. But when he spots litter floating by Southsea Castle, it makes him mad! With a mouth full of teeth and a determined spirit, he’s on a mission to remind everyone how important it is to keep our beaches and waters trash-free.

So, next time you visit the beach, remember the Solent Seal’s simple message: “Protect our beaches!” By keeping the shore clean, we can create a joyful, safe environment for all creatures to thrive. Please see the links below for two FREE taster stories…

Living In The Moment

22nd July 2025

Living in the moment is something I’ve been reflecting on lately. In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in future wants or dreams.
