Certainly in Scotland you have to apply for a license and then it is added to your firearms certificate. I seem to remember you have to attend a course on seal recognition, telling the difference between a common and a grey seal, safe shots etc.

Seals enterinf fresh water have a different status than seals in the sea, "rogue seals" springs to mind.

Try a google search.
