WEC Waddenzee | Zeehondencentrum Lauwersoog

The Zeehondencentrum is moving to Lauwersoog – a new chapter begins! This modern and innovative location is even closer to the natural habitat of seals in the Wadden Sea. Here, sick and injured seals receive the best care while visitors get a unique opportunity to see these fascinating animals up close. Why Lauwersoog? Lauwersoog is located on the edge of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea, making it the perfect place for seal rescue and rehabilitation. The new location offers several advantages: Faster rescue and release – shorter travel times for injured seals mean quicker recovery. A closer connection to the Wadden Sea – visitors can experience seals in their natural environment. Sustainable and innovative – the new center is designed with environmental responsibility in mind. In Lauwersoog, visitors can witness firsthand how seals are cared for and prepared for their return to the wild. Large observation windows and interactive exhibits provide an in-depth look at these marine mammals and the challenges they face. For children and families, there are educational programs, scavenger hunts, and workshops that teach the importance of keeping the ocean clean and safe for all marine life. The new center is committed to sustainability and conservation. Scientists and environmental organizations work together to study seal health and protect the Wadden Sea. The buildings are energy-efficient, powered by renewable energy, and built with eco-friendly materials.
