Ocean City, Delaware beaches are seeing more seals. Here’s why

A seasonal seal colony potentially over a decade old off the coast of Lewes could be from where the latest uptick of rescued seal pups is originating. Louis Armstrong, a 35-pound grey seal pup rescued from Assateague Island National Seashore on Feb. 26, is the latest to join the National Aquarium for rehabilitation. He was found stranded and dehydrated with wounds of unknown origin to his face and left flipper.
