Our campaign aims to raise vital funds to redevelop our existing resident seal pools which have not been replaced since our opening in 1975. The project will enable the Cornish Seal Sanctuary to be at the forefront of marine mammal welfare in the UK, with the highest quality facilities.

The Cornish Seal Sanctuary provides a permanent home for 12 resident seals who cannot be returned back to the wild due to medical issues. Our existing pools were built in 1975 and need to be replaced in order to ensure that we can adhere to upcoming zoo licensing regulations and to futureproof our Sanctuary for generations to come. The Sanctuary also rescues and rehabilitates up to 70 seal pups in need each year, which would not be possible without the ongoing visitor income from the Sanctuary.
By replacing four of our existing resident seal pools, we can continue with our lifesaving work. With pools which are specifically designed for longevity of use, the new structures' filtration and access will ensure that the Sanctuary remains at the forefront of marine mammal conservation. The new pools will ensure that we are able to adhere to the most stringent of zoo licensing regulations.
