Seals Beginning To Show Up On Ocean City Beaches

OCEAN CITY — The first batch of migrating seals on the beaches in and around the resort were reported this week, providing an opportunity to remind curiosity seekers and photographers to observe and enjoy the annual visitors from a safe distance as they move through the area as part of their natural migration process.

National Aquarium Marine Animal Rescue Program Stranding Coordinator Jenn Dittmar confirmed this week there had been four sightings on the beaches in Ocean City since Monday, signaling the annual appearance of the popular seals each winter.

“We’ve seen at least four individual seals since Monday and all of them thus far have been harbor seals,” Dittmar said this week. “All have been reported on the Atlantic side beaches and all of them have been in good body condition.”

It's a shame we can't hunt them.

Coyotes started showing up and now there is a hunting season. Why not seals? They don't belong here. The fur is marketable and the meat is fatty but palatable if properly prepared.

You all have to remember the big oil and radiation spills. The earth waters are polluted. Sea life are dying.
