AVALON – A harp seal beached itself here Wednesday, March 4 and has been recovered by the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, New Jersey.
Avalon police received notice that the seal was on the beach at 50th Street and an officer immediately responded and found the seal alive and well on the beach about 30 yards away from water’s edge.
The Marine Mammal Stranding Center was immediately contacted and a field representative from the center arrived a short time later. It is believed to be 1-year-old male harp seal, which are very common along the New Jersey coastline.
The seal showed no signs any sickness, physical disability or injury, the center reported. The seal was transported to the center where it will be examined and given some routine de-worming medication.
The seal will likely be released back into the ocean after receiving routine medical treatment from the center.
