It's not uncommon for seals to sunbathe along the Jersey shore when the water temperature dips below 45 degrees, and while this year's visit by the seal population was a bit delayed, the creatures have finally arrived, according to the Gateway National Recreation Area.
This is the time of year when injured or sick seals start showing up in New Jersey waters and on our beaches. It’s also when the Marine Mammal Stranding Center comes in to save the day.
