Sealcenter Pieterburen, located in the quaint village of Pieterburen in the Netherlands, is a rescue center dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of seals. The center was formerly known as Seal Nursery Pieterburen, reflecting its initial focus on caring for young orphaned seals. Today, the center provides care for sick and weakened seals of all ages, with the aim of releasing them back into the wild once they have recovered.
In 2015, Sealcenter Pieterburen opened a new visitor center, which places a special emphasis on the importance of recycling plastic and sea nets. This initiative is part of the center's broader commitment to environmental education and conservation, and provides visitors with a deeper understanding of the threats faced by seals and the steps that can be taken to mitigate these threats.
