Report a seal.
Now in Lauwersoog
We warmly welcome you to our new home base: the harbor of Lauwersoog. Here, we are part of the WEC (World Heritage Center Wadden Sea).
Our new location fits perfectly with the centre's mission: to protect both seals and their unique habitat. Besides a modern seal hospital, the WEC offers an interactive exhibition on the Wadden Sea, facilities for education and scientific research and a spectacular view over the Wadden Sea.
Visit us at the WEC and discover the Wadden Sea Experience! Meet the seals in their new home and experience how science, nature, and adventure come together. In our state-of-the-art seal hospital, we continue our tireless efforts to care for and rehabilitate weakened seals—now and in the future. Will you stop by?
Seal, Sea, Science.
The Sealcentre supports seals and their habitat – the UNESCO Wadden Sea World Heritage site. We will make every possible effort to prevent seals from getting into trouble. If, in spite of our efforts, a seal ends up in distress, it will receive care, partly behind the scenes, and partly visible to our visitors. We are convinced that healthy seals and a healthy sea are inextricably linked. Researchers in our sanctuary study what we can learn from this principle – for the seal, for our sea and for our own health. You can support our work with a visit or a donation. Every contribution counts. Are you in?
How to help
Since 1971, we have been committed to seals and their habitat. We have been able to do so for so long, thanks to your support. We receive no subsidy from the government. All contributions, in whatever form, are therefore more than welcome.
