BEVERLY — Workers from the New England Whale Center in Gloucester yesterday rescued an injured seal that had stranded itself on a dock at Port Marina.
The juvenile harp seal had a lot of blood on its hind flippers, said Jenn Tackaberry of the Whale Center.
"We don't know what caused the injury," she said.
The seal was taken to the New England Aquarium in Boston to stay overnight and then will be transferred to a rehabilitation center in Mystic, Conn., Tackaberry said. If the seal can be easily rehabbed, it will be released into the ocean.
Tackaberry said the seal was about 4 feet long and weighed 60 to 70 pounds.
