Adult harp seal rescued from New Jersey beach thousands of miles from natural habitat
The Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, New Jersey, welcomed a big new patient last week. A 154-pound harp seal was hauled out of Brant Beach in Long Beach Island on March 8. In a post on Facebook, the MMSC said the seal's behavior on the beach was observed for 24 hours by the Stranding Center staff and certified Stranding Volunteers local to the area. When the seal didn't move on the following morning and showed evidence of consuming sand, staff members, volunteers and the Long Beach Township Department of Public Works loaded and transported the seal to the Stranding Center. Once admitted, staff immediately began supportive care via tube feeding to rehydrate the seal, and started treatment to flush the sand out of his system with fluids and mineral oil. "Harp seals are one of our most fascinating winter visitors," MMSC said in the post. "We typically see juveniles and two-to-three year-olds, but are sometimes graced by the beautiful black and white adult Harp seals on our beaches. These seals are named for the dark harp-shaped pattern on their back that forms in their adult coat. This species is most commonly found dwelling on the ice in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, but have been known to travel as far south as Virginia in the winter." The Stranding Center says the seal is currently resting comfortably and has already started to eat fish on his own.

Injured dolphin euthanized after rescue from NJ beach
NEW JERSEY (PIX11) – An injured dolphin was rescued from Monmouth Beach in New Jersey and then euthanized Tuesday, officials said. The Monmouth Beach Police Department received a call at 8 a.m. about a dolphin stuck in a creek. Responding officers located the animal. The dolphin appeared to have an injury to its tail and was beached in the mud, police said on social media. More Local News Additional officers and residents joined in to help rescue the dolphin. Officers entered the creek and used a pump to keep the dolphin wet while they waited for further assistance. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) responded to the scene and extracted the dolphin from the mud with the help of a crew and forklift. Officials said the injured dolphin was taken to the MMSC facility for further treatment and care. However, the MMSC said the dolphin was badly injured. 'Upon examination, the underweight dolphin was found to be weak and lethargic, with lesions on multiple parts of his body. Abrasions were present on the flukes and pectoral fins. The dolphin's weakened body condition, coupled with being stuck in the mud without water to support his body weight for an unknown period, made the dolphin's prognosis for survival very poor. After veterinary assessment, the decision was made to humanely euthanize the animal to prevent further suffering.' Marine Mammal Stranding Center After the dolphin was euthanized, it was transported to the New Jersey Animal Health Diagnostic Laboratory, where a necropsy will take place. The dolphin was a male, according to officials. Matthew Euzarraga is a multimedia journalist from El Paso, Texas.

See it: Injured seal pup attacked by shark found on New Jersey beach
A photo released this week shows a seal pup that was rescued after being attacked by a shark in southern New Jersey. Officials with the Marine Mammal Stranding Center (MMSC) said they received a report of a badly injured seal pup on a Longport beach on Monday. An MMSC team member was dispatched to the scene, where he found an emaciated, nearly 40-pound Grey seal pup that had a number of cuts roughly arranged in the size and shape of a dinner plate on his abdomen. The animal also had several small puncture wounds on the left side of his mouth, the team member saw. The pup was then immediately transported for treatment at the MMSC, where his wounds were cleaned. He was also given supportive care and nutritional support, which involved feeding him a mixture of formula and electrolytes through a tube. As of Wednesday, MMSC officials said oral and topical medication has been started to ward off infection. Plus, pain medication has been administered to help keep the seal pup comfortable during his recovery. A veterinarian with the MMSC determined during his medical examination that, based on the seal pup's injuries, he was likely wounded during a predation attempt by a shark. Three days after he was found, the pup appears to be making positive strides as he heals from the attack. "We are very happy to report that this pup is already showing interest in his food and is starting to eat on his own!" officials with the MMSC said, noting that he is now resting comfortably in their facility. Five sick or injured seals, including four Grey seals and one Harbor seal, are currently being cared for at MMSC. How To Watch Fox Weather Grey seals are found along the New England and mid-Atlantic coastlines, according to Noaa.
