Seal Hospital
Pieterburen is the best place in Europe for taking care of seals and other marine animals. They have clear rules and expert knowledge about seals. At Pieterburen, the focus is not just on each seal but also on where they live. The team is excited to show visitors how they care for the seals.
Daily Care of seals
Every day, Pieterburen works hard to stop seals from getting into trouble. The rescue policy is slowly changing to “prevent problems when possible, and rescue when needed.” This means it’s better to prevent issues than to fix them later. Seal watchers play a key role in this. They help keep an eye on the seals along the coast.
Knowledge Institute
Pieterburen is also a place of learning. Through research, they provide the best care for the seals. But they don’t stop there; they look for more information. They learn about the health of the Wadden Sea and the animals that live there. This information can also tell us about our own health. The knowledge and results they gather are very important, and Pieterburen shares this with everyone.
Come and discover their research and learn more about the important work that Pieterburen does! They are open daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
