Large dead seal at Long Beach

Posted on by Catherine

On a gray day the tide revealed a dead adult seal about 6 feet long and weighing hundreds of pounds on the Gloucester side of Long Beach near Cape Ann Motor Inn. (I have not seen a dead adult seal on this beach in 12 years.) Unlike dead seal pups torn open and attracting gulls, there are no visible markings on its exposed sides and the body remains undisturbed. There is one faint thin red line in the sand.

    1. Hi Donna. Yeah, it’s already called in and noted in the high count, though cause is not confirmed yet.
      I believe it’s being removed tomorrow.
