The Seal Centre is a part of the Marine Station – a field research station of the Institute of Oceanography University of Gdańsk where a project of the reproduction and protection of grey seals in the region of the southern Baltic Sea is realized. The centre has existed since 1999, though the activity in the interest of seals’ protection was undertaken already at the moment when the first charge – Balbina appeared.

This took place in 1992 because the last day of March that year a young grey seal male was found on the beach in Jurata. It is a scientific and breeding centre thanks to which in the future seals will settle again in the southern part of the Baltic Sea. What is more, at the same time it is also a centre of the rehabilitation of ill and weakened seals. Cured seals are set free, likewise the young offspring of our raising pod of seals.
