The Marine Mammal Stranding Center’s first patient of the season continues to receive intensive critical care. According to BreakingAC.com, the male juvenile Harp seal was found Jan. 27 on a jetty on Bradley Beach, where he was suffering from a large open wound on his abdomen, and was immediately transported to the center in Brigantine for treatment. The team has been tending to his wounds and dealing with a number of respiratory issues. He started eating on his own last weekend, but his appetite has not been consistent, so the stranding technicians have been assisting with feedings as needed.
