Rescued Seals
March 13, 1997
Two seals, Scraggy and Peek a Boo, are released to the wild Tuesday at Sagg Main Beach in Sagaponack after treatment by the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research. Scraggy, a male harbor seal, had been with the foundation since January 5, when it was picked up in Center Moriches suffering from hyperglycemia. Peek-a-Boo, a female harp seal, was found in Mattictuck on November 29 and had an elevated white blood cell count. Kimberly Durham, the foundation's stranding director, is seen releasing Peek a Boo.
