Groningen province has appointed an independent expert team to help find a sustainable business model for the financially troubled World Heritage Centre Wadden Sea (WEC) in Lauwersoog. The centre, which also houses a seal rescue facility, has a shortfall of €2.8 million.
The team will work with the WEC and the municipality of Het Hogeland, provincial executive Susan Top told the provincial assembly on Wednesday. The province is facilitating the review but will not take ownership of the centre’s financial problems, she said.
Top said the situation had continued for too long and that it was important to force a change of direction. She did not rule out some form of investment, but said no extra funding was currently being considered. The cost of the expert team’s work has not yet been determined.
