Rescued seal to be released tomorrow off Charlestown

A yearling female harp seal is slated for release tomorrow at Blue Shutter's Beach in Charlestown.

New England Aquarium in Boston rescued the seal April 10, and it was moved to Mystic Aquarium that day.

She had several wounds on her back, neck and right rear flipper.

The sea received antibiotics, "has recovered well, gained weight and is ready to go home," Mystic Aquarium and Institute for Exporation said in a news release today.
