NECN and WMTW covered the release of three young harbor seals by UNE's Marine Animal Rehabilitation and Conservation Program on Sept. 12th at Gilbert Place beach in Biddeford.

MARC Program Manager Kristen Patchet told NECN reporter Marnie MacLean that 17 other seals remain at MARC; an unusually high number of them have come in with traumatic injuries like shark bites and propeller accidents."The guys that come in with these injuries are in rough shape, a lot of them are at death's door."

The online story also notes that MARC is hosting a Frolic 4 Flippers fundraiser. The 5k race and Kids Fun Run will be on Sept. 21. More information.
