The Cornish Seal Sanctuary is a sanctuary for injured seal pups, and is owned by Merlin Entertainments. It is situated on the banks of the Helford River in Cornwall, England, UK and there is a road along the creek from the centre of Gweek village to the sanctuary's large car park. ==History== The origins of the seal sanctuary goes back to 1958 when the founder, Ken Jones, discovered a baby seal washed up on the beach near his home at St Agnes. This was the first of many rescues. By 1975, the work had outgrown the single pool at St Agnes and a new site was found at Gweek. The Gweek site slowly grew, and today has five pools and a specially designed hospital. ; Stated goals: #To rescue and provide professional treatment for sick, injured or distressed marine mammals who are found around our shores. #To rehabilitate or provide and maintain a home for the unfortunate animals that would otherwise perish in the wild. #To release the rehabilitated marine mammals safely back into their natural environment. #To create a greater awareness of the marine environment through the work that is undertaken. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cornish Seal Sanctuary」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
