SRRC happy with support from House of Representatives

A disproportionate number of common seal pups born this year have been affected by the virus
The SRRC is very happy that the majority of the House of Representatives support parliament members Atsma (CDA) and Snijder-Hazelhoff (VVD)’s motion. It proposes to assist the SRRC’s scientists financially with their research into the possible causes of the current problems with lungworms. A disproportionate number of common seal pups born this year have been affected by the virus.

Lenie ’t Hart: “Luckily, we already are given lots of support from the Dutch public. People donate towels or support us with a financial donation and volunteers are offering their services in great numbers. But that a majority in the House of Representatives support us is an enormous boost: it shows that the politicians have faith in our work and our scientists as well. That is an extra stimulant for us to help the seals in any way possible!”
