On "International Seal Day", the German Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation (BUND M-V), the Vorpommern-Rügen Animal Rescue Service and the German Oceanographic Museum at the OZEANEUM will be providing information about seals in the Baltic Sea from 10 am to 3 pm.

Every year since 1982, March 22 has been dedicated to seals. Alongside the harbor porpoise, they are one of the largest mammals found in the Baltic Sea. The grey seal population has been growing steadily since the Baltic Sea was placed under protection in the 1980s, especially in the northern Baltic Sea, and in recent years has increasingly spread to the south and west. This is why humans and animals are increasingly coming into contact with each other on the coasts. On March 22, employees of BUND, the Vorpommern-Rügen animal rescue service and the German Oceanographic Museum will be providing information about marine mammals at the OZEANEUM from 10 am to 3 pm. Visitors will learn more about the way seals live, how to behave correctly when encountering an animal and what measures can be taken in the event of a sighting or if an animal is found dead. Visitors to the OZEANEUM will also learn about the "Network for Grey Seals" and the method of photo identification of seals. You can test your knowledge of marine mammals on the wheel of fortune or make your own little seal.
