Our 30th anniversary is tomorrow! Thank you so much for following us along for the countdown! We give all of our patients enrichment items like balls, buoys, tunnels and baskets! Enrichment helps to engage our patients and encourages natural behaviors! Our patients like to play with, hide under and use their enrichment as back scratchers! Enrichment is a key part of rehabilitation! 🐢🦭🎾

T-minus 3 days! One of the ways our organization educates the public is through our public releases! Held during the summer at Tiana Beach, our public seal and sea turtle releases are a great way to allow the public to engage (safely) with these marine mammals and sea turtles! It also allows us to educate members of the public in a unique way! Come watch one of our releases next summer! Stay updated by signing up for our news letter and following our social media pages! 🦭🐢👏

We are nearly to 30 years! This is Hope. On February 6th, 2002 biologists at our organization responded to many calls about a seal dragging netting and marine debris. Biologists removed nearly 4 lbs of heavy fishing debris from her neck. The netting had embedded itself approximately 4 inches deep into her skin. After three months of rehabilitation and treatment, Hope was cleared for release! 💙🦭🥹

We’re getting close! Only five days left! We love to see our seals hitting that “banana pose” 🍌 This pose is when a seals head and tail are both elevated at the same time, it helps keeps their head and flippers dry and also allows them to regulate their own body temperature! This pose usually indicates a healthy seal 💪🦭

6 more days!! Hope you’re all staying cozy and warm on this rainy Sunday like this pup is 🥹🦭

This harbor seal pup here is covered in white fur called lanugo. Harbor seals are not typically born with lanugo unless they are premature like this little girl. Gray and harp seals are always born with this fluffy coat to keep them warm until their blubber fills in. After a few weeks they will shed this baby fur to reveal a more dense and slick coating of darker fur!

We can’t believe we’re only one week away from celebrating 30 years of furthering our mission to protect and preserve the marine environment through various conservation efforts!

This photo was taken back in November of 2017 during the cold stun season. If you see a sea turtle on the beach during the months of November - January call our hotline number (631)-369-9829 so that our biologists can assess the situation and provide treatment if needed ❤️‍🩹🐢

DO NOT attempt to warm the turtle yourself or place it back in the water as this can cause more damage. If you’re interesting in becoming a cold stun patroller for NYMRC click the link in our bio ❄️
