Our aim is to return all these pups back into the wild, and because of a greater knowledge of how to care for Seals built up over the years, along with improved facilities and medication, our success rate is very good. The Sanctuary is also a permanent home to a community of adult seals, who for various reasons can not be released back into the wild. The highlight of any visit to the sanctuary is feeding time, when Snoopy, Sheba, Anneka, and the rest of the adult Seals all have their own amusing way of attracting more than their fair share of the fish.

Sahara is an Arctic Hooded Seal who in 2006 was washed up malnourished in Morocco before being flown to the National Seal Sanctuary in April 2007. After months of rehabilitation, Sahara was fitted with a satellite tag and taken to Scotland and released off the Orkney coast. Six weeks later Sahara was washed up in Spain and was re-rescued. It was decided that Sahara was not fit for release back into the wild and so we have given him a permanent home here at Gweek. California & Patagonian Sea Lions, the Cape Fur Seals, the Hooded Arctic Seal, the adult Grey and Common Seals, the various pups, the audio visual interpretation area, and other information boards, along with our staff, will make it an educational and enjoyable day out at The National Seal Sanctuary. Our main purpose is to Rescue, Rehabilitate, and Release, but it is the large number of visitors we get every year, many returning each season, which has helped us become what we are today.............
