09.01.2010The sealarium is part of the Marine Station - a scientific field facility of the Institute of Oceanography at the University of Gdansk, where a project to restore and protect theGrey seal colony in the southern Baltic region. The center has existed since 1999, although the activity for the protection of seals was undertaken as early as the appearance of the first charge - Balbina. This was in 1992, because on the last day of March of that year, this young male gray seal was found on the beach in Jurata. By design, it is a research and breeding facility, thanks to which seals will again populate the southern part of the Baltic Sea in the future, and at the same time a rehabilitation center for sick and weakened individuals. The cured seals are released into the wild, as are the offspring of our breeding stock. The release is intended to make up for the losses that the natural population of Baltic seals suffers as a result of reckless human activity (pollution, fishing, shipping). All this is done so that gray seals can live as before within the entire sea, and, fulfilling the positive role of predator, they are a tester for man of the quality of the marine ecosystem, including fish. The Marine Station's sealarium conducts research on the biology and ecology of Baltic seals.
