Specialties
The Irish Seal Sanctuary (ISS) (formerly Skerries Marinewatch) has been operating since 1986 as a sanctuary for rescued marine and other wildlife, and in particular seals. We provide shelter for these rescued animals and run a follow-up programme of rehabilitation and release. We train our animal handlers in rehabilitation practices and lend our expertise to the protection, conservation and study of Ireland’s marine wildlife receiving charitable status in 1995.
We have now treated over 800 seals and, on average, deal with over 2,000 wildlife distress calls per annum; and participated in a number of oil-spill responses.
