Blue Shutters Beach, Charlestown, RI 

Pumpkin is female harbor seal that was rescued from Ipswich, MA on September 15, 2015 by the Seacoast Science Center.
She had several facial wounds that needed treatment and was also in poor body condition, weighing only 33 lbs. when she arrived at Mystic Aquarium's Animal Rescue Clinic.
Now approximately 10 months old, weighing more than 72 lbs., and completely healed, Pumpkin is ready for release.

Please remember that marine animal release dates and times may change at the last minute given a variety of factors. Thank you for your support and understanding.
