Volunteer2 - Caspian Seals Research and Rehabilitation Center

Volunteer

We are grateful to all our volunteers for their help and support. Their hard work and dedication are vital to Center’s efforts to save the Caspian Seal.

I am very interested in working with animals, and I want to contribute to the rescue of Caspian Seals. When I found out about the opening of the Center in Aktau, I immediately enrolled as a volunteer.

What to do if you find a seal?

If you find a baby or injured seal:

Maintain a reasonable distance – as not to scare the seal.
Immediately inform the Caspian Seal Research and Rehabilitation Center (+ 7 775 101 1122) or the Mangistau region Department of Fish Inspection (+ 8 (7292) 57 92 49) and tell them where the animal is.
If you find a seal, which is exhausted, with open wounds, or has limbs that appear to be in an unnatural position, try to restrict its access to open water but do it from a reasonable distance. Take measures to protect it from stray dogs and birds whilst waiting for a member of the CSRRC team or Fish Inspection Office to arrive.
Do not try to feed the seal or provide veterinary care by yourself.

If you find a seal carcass, please inform the CSRRC on +7 775 101 1122.
