Habitat

When seals are strong enough, they are brought back to the sandbanks by the people of the seal sanctuaries.

The Dutch seals live in De Waddensea and along the coast of our province Zeeland. De Waddensea is a protected sea, which is situated between the main land and the islands of Holland and Germany (up to Denmark). This sea is a tidal marsh, which means that with eb-tide the sandbanks are dry, and with flood-tide the sea is streaming over the sandbanks.
Although the Waddensea is a protected area, pollution is a dangerous threat for the animals who lives in this area.
