RYE, N.H. — Two months after being found on the beach in Rye, a seal was released back into the ocean and freedom.
The 4-month-old seal was discovered with a wounded flipper and a respiratory infection.
He was named Oregano and taken to the National Marine Life Center in Massachusetts to recover.
Oregano was one of almost 100 harbor seals that were stranded on New Hampshire’s Sea Coast this year alone.
