Description
Rehabilitation of marine animals, Seals
Seal Rehabilitation and Research Centre at Pieterburen is a scientific research-based seal hospital, with modern facilities including a quarantine area, a laboratory, and professional staff. Hundreds of seals are cared for annually, including seals injured by boats or fishing nets, and those ill from pollution, or orphaned. All rehabilitated seals are released into the wild. The centre also conducts scientific research into wild seals, in order to gain insight into their behaviour, the state of their ecosystem, and how their problems can be prevented.
