Have you seen the seals? Waterspirit has invited the public to join us at Sandy Hook Beach to monitor the migrating seal population. Watching these beautiful creatures as they haul out to rest on the rocks inspires us all to do what we can to care for creation.

This past Friday, the education team from the Watershed Institute asked Miss Anne to conduct a session for them. We learned about the seals and enjoyed a little trivia game. Then we went down to the viewing area and enjoyed a quiet afternoon watching the seals. Fun fact…if you challenge a group of naturalists to do the banana pose like a harbor seal, you’ll get at least a few who will do it!

Waterspirit went back to Sandy Hook on Saturday. In the morning we conducted a Winter Beach Cleanup with some amazing volunteers who wanted to protect the Sacred Waters off the Jersey Shore.

Saturday afternoon, as the January temperatures climbed, we enjoyed another visit with the seals. We sure adore these pinnipeds.
