The Conservation of Seals Act 1970 (c. 30) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It received Royal Assent on 29 May 1970.
Criticism
In 2007 there has been a call for better seal protection by Animal Concern and the Marine Conservation Society. The animal groups claim thousands seals are killed by fishing, fish farming and salmon angling industries. Animal welfare and conservation groups have called for new legislation to protect seals in Scottish waters. The Scottish Seals Forum is being asked to back calls to the Scottish Government for a comprehensive review of the Conservation of Seals Act 1970 after serve declines in common seal populations[1].
