PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • May 11, 2020

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Marine Mammals of Maine announced Monday that it has some goods news to share with supporters of the Brunswick-based marine rescue organization. A harbor seal pup that washed up on Scarborough Beach last Wednesday suffering from dehydration, kidney problems, a respiratory infection and lethargy has recovered and will be transferred this week to a long-term care facility in Massachusetts, according to Executive Director Lynda Doughty. Doughty and Marine Mammals of Maine received national recognition in March when CNN chose her as a nominee for the cable network’s Hero Award for 2020.
