Charles Tilburg and Shannon Prendiville quoted on NECN and Washington Post blog

New England Cable News on March 21, 2011 and the Washington Post's 'Capitol Weather Gang' blog on March 23rd quoted Charles Tilburg, Ph.D., assistant professor of marine science, and Shannon Prendiville, animal care lab technician at the UNE Marine Animal Rehabilitation Center, in stories on the increase in adult harp seal sightings from Maine all the way to North Carolina. 

Tilburg suspects the southward migration of seals from their native Gulf of St. Lawrence is related to sea ice loss resulting from climate change: “If you decrease that ice they are going to go in different directions to haul up and give birth." Read the blog and watch the NECN video.
