Thames Coastguard were made aware of reports of an injured seal, which turned out to be asleep.
The coastguard was called to reports of a seal injured on Thorpeness beach at 12.15pm.
Although no one was tasked, a lifeboat crew member was nearby and confirmed the seal was asleep on the beach, and that it would swim away at the next high tide.
