What does a seal watcher do?
Not every seal on the beach is taken to the shelter. First, Ecomare's animal caretakers check whether the animal actually needs shelter. How do they determine that? This part of their work takes place on the beach. The zookeeper explains what they take with them when they respond to a report and how they find out whether a seal needs help. Come watch, listen and ask questions!
