Yes, I would like to adopt Karien
Will you help us take care of Karien? You can adopt her for € 60,- per year.
Karien
Species: harbour seal
Gender: female
At Ecomare because:
The fact that Karien is very eager to learn is something we notice during the health training sessions. She learns quickly and eagerly! Karien is not a show-off though, she doesn’t like to be in the spotlights. Yet she stands out anyway because she’s taught herself how to wave.
What is an adoption?
You can adopt a seal for €60.- per year or €5.- per month. With this symbolic adoption, you support the entire seal sanctuary. You aren’t the only one to adopt a specific animal. Thanks to all the adoptive families, Ecomare can continue to provide care for the animals.
What do you get?
As new adoptive family, you received an envelope at home with items including a large photo of your seal, information about the animal and a one-time free entry to Ecomare. In addition, you will receive the Dutch newspaper ‘Ecomare bericht’, a monthly newsletter (in Dutch) per email and a new photo every year. You are very welcome to come to the annual donor’s day.
