Ecomare, Marine animal sanctuary and zoo in Texel, Netherlands.
Ecomare is a marine animal facility and zoo on Texel with indoor and outdoor pools. The center cares for injured seals through medical treatment and rehabilitation before they return to the ocean.
The facility started as a basic rescue center and expanded into a comprehensive marine education and conservation center. This growth reflects an increasing focus on protecting ocean wildlife and educating the public.
The center teaches visitors about North Sea ecosystems through exhibits and direct observation of marine animals. The educational approach helps people understand how these ocean environments support diverse wildlife.
The site is accessible daily and offers wheelchair access throughout the facility. Visitors can easily navigate the grounds and find scheduled feeding sessions and animal observation opportunities.
The center houses a ringed seal from the Arctic, a species not typically found in the North Sea. This rare resident adds unexpected diversity to the marine animals on display.
