Seal Spotted on Seaside Heights Beach

Reader submitted photo to Patch

A seal spotted on the beach in Seaside Heights on Tuesday was captured on camera by a Patch reader. 

In one photo, the Jet Star roller coaster that has fallen into the Atlantic Ocean can be seen behind the brown seal.

According to the witness, the nonprofit Brigantine-based Marine Mammal Stranding Center checked out the seal, who was just resting on the beach.
