An injured harbor seal pup lays on the beach before being rescued by trained volunteers with Seal Sitters, part of NOAA’s marine mammal stranding network. Lynn Shimamoto, a trained investigator with Seal Sitters, part of NOAA’s marine mammal stranding network, rescues an injured young harbor seal pup along the beach at Seacrest Park in West Seattle, Sunday September 12, 2021. “We were concerned because it’s very thin and seems to have some respiratory issues,” said Shimamoto. Also, she added, “it keeps coming up on these really busy beaches,” and was recently chased by a dog into the water. The seal, safely put into a carrier for transport, was be taken to the SeaLife Response Rehab and Research (SR3) marine animal hospital in Des Moines. Shimamoto says it is incredibly important for the public not to disturb marine wildlife. Wildlife hospitals will not accept drop-offs of marine animals from the public. If you observe an animal on a West Seattle beach in distress, call their hotline at 206-905-SEAL and visit their website at www.sealsitters.org for more information.
