We are Sealcentre Pieterburen, one of the oldest and best seal rehabilitation centres in the world. On our campus and field station live and work volunteers and researchers from all over the world. By our collective passion and multidisciplinary approach we form a learning community. We transfer our passion to the public and make them aware of our mission. For years we have a passion and take care for the seal, including its environment. A clean and healthy Wadden Sea is very dear to us. This unique piece of nature has the title 'World heritage' and we should treat it accordingly; for now, for later and for our children. This puts a great responsibility on as human beings and as a social enterprise. The role of the seal is crucial; it is the indicator of a clean sea. We measure, monitor, rehabilitate and share our knowledge. To keep both the seal and its habitat healthy and to offer our knowledge and expertise internationally.

VIP tour arrangement for group was great
We visited on a so-called VIP group arrangement of 16 Euros per person during a team awayday. We were received very well with outstanding coffee and outright delicious local cake in the pleasant cafe inside the sanctuary. Then we were given a good tour in English, including some behind the scenes views, by one of the professional staff of the Sanctuary, informing us well about the activities. We also saw the movie in their own theatre, which was nice too and available also in auf Deutsch and in English. Overall good excursion for about two hours much appreciated by our international group.

Once upon your life...
If you are from the netherlands you must have heard from Pieterburen and their Zeehonden Creche. If you are in the aera you must visit this place...once. It is smaller then expected and you can not come very close to the animals (after the visit you know why). The centre gives you good information about the current situation, the past and the future for these animals. Without this centre many seal would have and will die. Great for children. A bit remote...
