Relocated Seal Travels 70 miles in One Day!- March 21, 2025

On March 21st we relocated a female Grey seal pup from a busy beach in Stone Harbor.  Less than 24 hours after being released in Brigantine, New Jersey, this spunky little Grey seal was spotted over 70 miles away in Delaware!  

MMSC Rescues Entangled Grey Seal- March 15, 2025

On March 15th we received an urgent call reporting an entangled seal in Seaside Park.  The Stranding Technician immediately transported the seal to MMSC where the line was removed.   Fortunately the line had not yet cut into her skin and she was not in need of further medical care, so she was able to be returned to the wild.


Release Day for Grey seal #24-098- August 27, 2024

Watch our final release of the 2023-2024 seal season! Grey seal #24-098 (Long Branch) spent over four months in our hospital recovering from a severely injured right front flipper. Now fully-recovered from her broken flipper, she is ready for the freedom of the ocean once again. Happy release day!

Release Day for Grey seal #24-029 & #24-100- July 2, 2024

 On July 2nd our Stranding Team released two juvenile Grey seals back into the wild! Grey seal #24-029 (Sea Isle City) has been recovering at MMSC since March from a wound on his shoulder and a corneal abrasion. Grey seal #24-100 (Margate) was admitted in late April for edema in his rear flippers. Now both fully-recovered and weighing well over 100lbs each, they were ready for their journey back home to the ocean. 

Release Day for Grey seal #24-106- June 18, 2024

On June 18th our Stranding Team traveled up to Sandy Hook Gateway National Park to release Grey seal #24-106 (Spring Lake). It was a beautiful sunny afternoon with the New York City skyline in the background. Our former patient spent a few minutes after the transport taking in the quiet scene from the safety of his crate before exiting with a little encouragement from Jay. We were so excited to get to watch him frolic in the surf for a few minutes before disappearing beyond the breakers. 

Earth Day Seal Release & Rescue - April 22, 2024

  

Watch our Stranding Team release a group of three male juvenile Grey seals-Long Beach Island (#24-014),  Atlantic City (#24-020), and Lavallette (#24-047).  As this trio swam off to the freedom of the ocean, we received a call for another injured Grey seal that needed our help. Make sure to watch the footage from our newest patient's rescue at the end of this video!

After seven weeks of care at MMSC, Grey seals #24-011 (Brigantine) & 24-012 (Beach Haven) were released back into the wild live on NBC's Today Show! In typical Grey seal fashion, the duo took their time on the beach and made sure to get their full 15 minutes of fame before returning home to the ocean. Safe travels, pups!
