A volunteer in the town of Dungarvan has suggested erecting a statue to honour the local seals known for their playful surfing antics. This proposal aims to acknowledge the seals as a distinctive feature of Waterford’s coastal community.
The seals have gained popularity both locally and among tourists for their unusual behaviour of riding the waves along the shore. The proposed statue would serve as a new attraction, drawing visitors and celebrating the natural wildlife of the area.
Local residents and businesses have shown interest in the initiative, recognising the potential boost to tourism and community pride. Supporters believe that a statue could become a symbol of Dungarvan’s connection to its coastal environment.
While the idea is still in its early stages, discussions are ongoing regarding the design and potential location for the statue. The proposal reflects a growing trend of communities embracing their natural and cultural heritage through public art.
