Virtual Education Series - Seal Rescue Ireland

With SRI’s BRAND NEW Virtual Education Programme, you’ll get the chance to learn (safely from home!) all about Ireland’s native seals, and what we can all do to protect them and marine biodiversity. Join us virtually for a tour of our seal hospital in Courtown, Co Wexford, and an engaging look at how we give sick, injured and orphaned seals another chance at life in the wild.

Our FREE educational videos are great for classes, families, community groups, and anyone who wants to know more about Ireland’s iconic seals.

Boost your learning with FREE activity workbooks (below) and quizzes that follow along with the videos, and put your knowledge to the test! The workbooks have fully interactive fields, so they do not need to be printed at home, and can instead be completed on your computer or device!
