You're invited to join us and our friends from Marine
Mammals of Maine (MMoME) as we release six harbor seals.
Each seal was rescued in Maine by MMoME as a pup and was
considered to have been abandoned shortly after birth. Four of the
seals – Kauai, Bear, Bimini and Tigres –
received rehabilitative care at Mystic Aquarium’s Animal Rescue Clinic.
Due to an Unusual Mortality Event (UME) along the ME, NH
and MA coastline, MMoME will join our team to release another two seals
- one of which will be satellite tagged by Atlantic Marine
Conservation Society of New York in order to conduct population
monitoring and gain valuable information on post-release behavior and
travel patterns.
