LONDON Cheap Adidas Ultra Boost Black , July 31 (Xinhua) -- Marine biologists in London started an annual survey on Monday of the Thames Estuary to count the number of seals living in Britain's most famous waterway.


Experts from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) will scour the estuary for seals as part of a new action plan to protect the Thames' iconic marine mammals.


In the 1950s, seals were almost extinct from the Thames, but a clean-up drive has seen their numbers steadily grow.


It is now even possible for tourists crossing London's famous bridges to spot a seal heading along the Thames in search of food.


One seal, named Sammy, has even become a marine celebrity as he pays regular visits to Billingsgate Fish Market near Canary Wharf Cheap Adidas Ultra Boost Triple White , enjoying fish thrown to him by porters in the market.


Experts see the seal colonies along the estuary and in the river as a clear sign the Thames has become cleaner.


The biologists from ZSL, the international conservation charity, will be checking the shorelines and sandbanks along the Thames to carry out their latest population counts for harbor seals and grey seals.


"As well as monitoring seal numbers, ZSL's conservationists will be looking for evidence of how other factors including health threats, coastal development and inter-species behaviors are affecting these marine mammal populations Cheap Adidas Ultra Boost White ," said a ZSL spokesman.


ZSL's estuaries and wetlands conservation manager Anna Cucknell said: "Last year's survey estimated populations of 964 harbour seals and 1,552 grey seals across the estuary, so it will be interesting to see how these numbers have changed."


The animal faces serious conservation threats, she said, from health threats like phocine distemper virus Cheap Adidas Ultra Boost , which devastated UK seal populations in 2002; to threats from construction and dredging projects; to inter-species competition for food and territory.


Steered by ZSL in collaboration with the Port of London Authority (PLA), RSPCA, Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP), British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) and Tideway, the new protection plan will also encompass input from emergency services experts at the Metropolitan Police Service Cheap Ultra Boost Blue , London Fire Brigade and Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).


As part of the action plan, members of the public will be able to access advice online on how to know if a marine mammal is healthy or in need of help and what to do.


Following this year's annual seal census, ZSL's team will also be conducting their first-ever harbor seal breeding survey of the Thames in 2018, increasing the accuracy of population estimates and shedding further light on the importance of this critical pupping habitat for the species.

France launched a hunt for more wreckage from the ill-fated MH370 plane off Reunion island on Friday in a fresh effort to shed light on one of aviation's biggest mysteries.


The tiny French Indian Ocean territory has been under intense scrutiny since a beach cleaner found a washed-up wing part last week, which Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak later declared was part of the Boeing 777 that mysteriously vanished 17 months ago.


The flaperon is currently being examined by experts in France for clues as to the last moments of the Malaysia Airlines aircraft that inexplicably veered off course en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, and there are hopes that Reunion may yield more debris.


In nearby Mauritius, authorities are also searching for any possible plane parts that may have landed on their shores.


Dominique Sorain Cheap Ultra Boost Black , the top government official in Reunion, told reporters that a military transport plane was patrolling the seas off the coast and a ship had also departed before being forced to return due to bad weather.


He added that helicopters would also be used, as would soldiers and policemen who will patrol the eastern part of the island where the flaperon was discovered.


"This... will last a week, after which we will draw our first conclusions," Sorain said.


As evening drew in Cheap Ultra Boost Triple White , the search was called off, to be resumed early Sunday. "There will be no mission during the day on Saturday," said military officer Aline Simon.


On Sunday, only the plane would be deployed, with boats launched if any debris is found Cheap Ultra Boost White , she added.


- Objects under seal -


Since the discovery of the two-metre-long flaperon last week, people on the island have come forward with other objects they think may look like plane parts.


Sorain said some of these objects had been sealed while waiting for experts to determine whether they really are bits of aircraft or not.


He said some of the objects were "the size of a finger."


"The flaperon looked a lot like a part from a Boeing, but for small elements it's much more complex."


Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said Thursday that more possible MH370 objects -- aircraft seat cushions and windows -- had been discovered on Reunion i.
