Seal Class of 2022-2023!

With the final release of this seal season behind us, we thought you would enjoy this "class photo" of all twenty patients that were successfully rehabilitated by the Marine Mammal Stranding Center and returned to the wild this year. Each face represents countless hours of hard work by our dedicated team of Stranding Technicians, Volunteers, Interns, and Support Staff. Our team’s unwavering commitment to the animals never stops. In wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, the days are long and the work is hard, but these are the moments that inspire us and our work. And although it is our hands that do the work, it is YOUR hearts that make our work possible. Because of all of YOU, our amazing supporters, these twenty seals got their second chance to go back home to the Ocean, wild and free.

With the end of seal season comes a very busy few months of projects that can only be accomplished when our hospital is empty. Currently the team is completing renovations and repairs to the ICU and Pool House. Stranding equipment is being inspected and repairs made as needed. All of the trucks are getting much-needed maintenance completed, and we are already busy stocking up on supplies such as food, medicine and cleaning products to prepare for next seal season (the start of which is only a few months away).

Thank you so much for your ongoing support, we could not do it without YOU!
