Don't Miss It: Two Seals to Be Released

Take the kids to watch the seals head back into the ocean.

The Riverhead Foundation is set to release two seals on Saturday at noon in Hampton Bays under the Ponquogue Bridge.

The first of the seals, Belle, was rescued in Montauk on March 31 after a couple spotted her on a private beach tangled in netting. A fragment was also lodged in her body.

Watch a video of her rescue here.

The second seal set to be released is Aladdin, a yearling male harbor seal found at Jones Beach State Park on April 6. Aladdin was lethargic and suffering from respiratory congestion.
