Release Day for Harp seal #24 023 (Lavallette)-April 8, 2024

Watch as our Stranding Team releases Harp seal #24-023 (Lavallette) back into the wild! This adult male originally stranded in February, weighing 150lbs, dehydrated, and consuming sand. Now weighing a healthy 220lbs and fully recovered, he made his way back home on a beautiful afternoon. Look carefully at the intricate black markings on his back, our staff thinks they are reminiscent of yesterday's solar eclipse!
