It is time to check back in with former MMSC patient Harbor seal #26-007 (Beach Haven Gardens), now twenty-two days post release, to see where his journey has taken him this week.🦭🌊 His most recent data points show that he has moved even further north since our last update, and is now spending time just south of Seal Island National Refuge in Maine. Will he decide to keep heading north to Canada, or will he settle down at Seal Island? Stay tuned for updates!

All new patients in our hospital are given an initial intake exam, starting with a tube feeding to start supportive care. It takes a lot of skill, practice and patience for our Stranding Technicians to be able to safely handle the seals for medical exams and treatments. Thank you Octant Films and Purplegator for capturing this rehabilitation moment to share with our followers!

Monday morning glow-up! ✨ When two-year-old Harp seal #26-017 (Virginia) stranded sick and malnourished back in March, she weighed only 53lbs. She has since doubled her intake weight during her recovery at MMSC, now topping the scales at 105lbs! She has also started her annual molt, shedding her old worn-out coat in patches as her new "peach fuzz" coat is coming through underneath. This patient just keeps getting more and more beautiful every day!
