Marine Mammal Stranding Center

Boaters, fishermen and beachgoers need to be aware of frequent whale sightings off the Jersey Shore where the food supply is plentiful.

Seals are migrating to Jersey Shore beaches this winter in search of warmer waters, sun and food, but keep your distance.

Volunteers helping stranded seals along the Jersey Shore had a sad Sunday morning, after two seals died overnight and a third had been found dead on Saturday.

You can chip in to help the nonprofit buy a new one.

The seal has a "great BAD grey seal attitude," its rescuers said.

The Marine Mammal Stranding Center said it is not uncommon for dolphins to be in our area this time of year and to have a few die and wash up on our shores.

The lives of more than 80 wildlife species in New Jersey are either in immediate danger or close to it.

Jersey beaches have been seeing their share of seals and seal pups in the past month. Unfortunately, some of the young show up with injuries.

Thanks to a mild New Jersey winter so far, The Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine has seen fewer beached seals along the coast.

If you do see a stranded mammal, don't touch it, and contact the local police department.
