Seal Sanctuary in Hel, Public aquarium in Hel, Poland.

The Seal Sanctuary features large pools where gray seals and harbor seals swim, play, and receive rehabilitation care from marine biology specialists.

Founded in 1999, the sanctuary emerged from earlier conservation initiatives directed at protecting and restoring gray seal populations in the southern Baltic region.

The facility serves as an educational center where University of Gdańsk students participate in professional courses about marine mammal biology and conservation.

Visitors can observe seal feeding sessions three times daily, with additional educational presentations available in Polish and English throughout summer months.

The sanctuary maintains a real-time streaming system that allows researchers and the public to monitor seal behavior and activities through online platforms.
