Fokarium Stacji Morskiej im. Prof. Krzysztofa Skóry, Marine mammal research center in Hel, Poland.
The facility includes rehabilitation pools, medical equipment, and research laboratories dedicated to the study and care of Baltic Sea seals.
The center began operations in 1999 following the successful rehabilitation of Balbin, the first seal treated at the Hel facility.
The Fokarium contributes to marine education through specialized courses in ichthyology and practical training for natural science students.
Visitors can observe seal feeding sessions and rehabilitation procedures while learning about marine conservation at the University of Gdańsk facility.
The center maintains a 24-hour rescue service for injured marine mammals found along the Polish Baltic coast.
