Our adopted seal takes to the sea

During our collaboration with Ecomare, Kenneth and Sjoerd were deeply impressed by the work they do. Every year, they rescue hundreds of seals, take loving care of them and then give them a second chance in nature. It inspired us so much that we decided to adopt a grey seal in need!

Our little hero was found on a beach in a weakened state at the beginning of December. Not even two days old, lost due to the storm, without its mother. Thanks to the excellent care of Ecomare, he grew up to become a strong, healthy young seal.

Every week, we received photos and videos of the little seal to keep us up to date with how he was developing.

The first day of spring, 21 March, marked the start of a new chapter in our BÈTA seal’s life: back to sea! With the whole team, we gave him a warm send-off. Sjoerd and Vincent set him free and, without hesitating, he galumphed to freedom, towards a wonderful life in nature.

If you, too, want to adopt a seal and help it recover, you can! Through Ecomare you can support a seal and contribute to its care and return to nature. Take a look at www.ecomare.nl to see how you can make a difference.
