Seals are popping up on South Jersey beaches this winter. Marine Mammal Stranding Center says don't forget that space matters and make sure you know what to do if you see one.
It's important to be able to accurately identify whether or not a beached seal is actually in distress. If they're just taking time to rest, stay away!
With the colder months approaching, the first seal of the season has been spotted on NJ's beaches. Don't get too close! They're resting after a long swim!
It's common for people to release balloons in memory of lost loved-ones, but it's actually extremely harmful to the environment, particularly NJ's coastline.
