FIONA AND THE SEALS
I It all started back in 1976, when a young woman named Fiona Middleton sat on a low rock by the sea,
playing her violin. She suddenly heard noises, and to her surprise, a seal appeared floating quite close to
her. As she continued playing, several seals joined the first, rolling around while they were listening to
her music.
II Ever since that first concert so many years ago, Fiona, a resident of the Hebridean Isle of Islay in
Scotland, has continued to go to the sea and play for audiences of up to 40 seals at a time. She has learned
their habits as well as what kinds of music they seem to enjoy, and she composes songs especially for
them.
III Fionas relationship with the animals grew even deeper in 1988, when the Scottish seal colonies became
threatened by a deadly virus. In some areas of Scotland, home to the vast majority of Europes grey seals,
more than 50 per cent of the Scottish seal population died. Fiona began caring for sick and injured seals
and abandoned pups, taking them home and releasing them to the sea when they were well.
IV At that time she also organised a campaign, raising funds and selling recordings of her music. With the
help of organisations whose support she attracted, such as Save Our Seals and Greenpeace, a new vaccine
for the virus was developed and sick seals were successfully treated with antibiotics.
V Today, Fionas actions focus on another problem facing the seals in her area. Fishermen, claiming seals
eat the fish and therefore harm the fishing industry, are legally allowed to shoot them. Fiona is
campaigning to change this law so that seal shooting is limited and the seals are better protected.
VI Fiona, her husband and her three daughters still share their home with various sick and injured seals as
well as abandoned pups. She has published a book on her work with the seals and her music continues to
be sold. Hopefully, these fascinating creatures will soon receive better government protection and be able
to live in peace in their watery habitat.
