Patients that have already demonstrated that they can eat fish on their own are placed in a pool where they can learn how to compete with other animals. This is one of the smaller pools with a haul-out platform in the centre. It can only fit a few animals and is a good starting point for patients that have never been housed with another seal.

Symbolic Adoption
You can help us care for Saturna and the more than 100 marine mammals we rescue, rehabilitate and release every year by symbolically adopting her today with a small donation to the rescue centre.
Patient Progress
"Training" Pool Saturna has demonstrated that she is confident eating fish on her own. She has been moved to a small pool that fits up to 3 animals where she can learn how to compete for fish with other harbour seals. She will move to a larger pool once she is confident enough.
Patient Updates
Saturna is learning how to eat fish and will be in a pool before we know it!
Saturna is progressing well and is now in a training pool with some friends where she will learn to compete for fish.
