As New Jersey's beaches become unexpected havens for distressed seals, a wave of rescues shines a light on the urgent need for intervention and support.A young grey seal pup rescued from Long Beach Island Wednesday is one of the newest patients at the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, the non-profit sea mammal rescue organization said.
The seal was taken to the stranding center’s hospital in Brigantine, where staff began tube feeding the pup formula and electrolytes and is now treating her wounds.This pup is just one of the 21 other injured seals that were found on New Jersey beaches recently and are being treated at the stranding center, said Michele Pagel, assistant director with the Marine Mammal Stranding Center.
This has been a busier seal season than recent years for the stranding center, but not the busiest. Their record for the highest number of seals in the hospital at one time was 26 during the early 2000′s, Pagel said.
