Seals are washing up on New Jersey beaches by the dozen, according to reports given to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine, N.J.
There have been 26 seal strandings in New Jersey since November, sources say. Fourteen of those strandings happened in February.
While it is not unusual for seals to get stranded this time of year, there are more than usual showing up on Jersey shore beaches, according to a spokeswoman for the Brigantine center.
The gray and harbor seals found on the beaches are malnourished and have parasites, authorities say. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center is housing 11 seals right now -- making the center two-thirds full.
Many are suffering from respiratory infections and parasites, officials say.
One seal came ashore on Island Beach State Park Saturday, but slipped back into the waters off Seaside Park, reports the Star Ledger.
The reason for the increased number of seals stranded is still unknown but officials familiar with the investigation believe that global warning could be playing a role in the harp seals becoming stranded.
Folks at the Marine Mammal Stranding Center are asking for the public's help in recoveirng some of the costs (food, medicine, etc.) for caring for the seals. Anyone who wants to help can help "Adopt-a-Seal" by clicking here.
Also, they put out a PSA to help educate the public about what to do if they see a seal on the beach -- the tips include calling the center ASAP at (609) 266-0538 and staying at least 50 feet away from the animal.

EXPERTS say that record temperatures and low oxygen levels are to blame for dead fish being washed up on riverbanks and beaches across WA.
Dead fish, eels and crayfish have been found on shores - with the coastline of Green Head, some 290km north of Perth, covered in now-rotting carcasses.
Green Head resident Rod Wilson said: "It's very heartbreaking. I've been here for 28 years and I've never seen anything like it. To us it's a local ecological disaster."
Reports state that in a cleanup operation at Green Head, 20km north of Jurien Bay, more than 15,000 dead fish were collected.
"Our biggest concern is how long is this going to take to right itself," Mr Wilson added.
With fish carcasses washing up for more than a week, local residents are being urged to stay out of the water for fears of harmful bacteria.
Experts say WA's coastal waters have seen the highest rise in temperature in the world with up to 4C rise than normally seen this summer.
Dr Brian Jones from the Department of Fisheries said: "Anybody who as sat in Perth for the last few months without airconditioning knows what heat does.
"Fish are the same. They are cold blooded so they feel the heat."
It follows a similar case in the US where millions of dead anchovies were found floating in a Los Angeles marina.

Tylko jeżeli jednym z wyjasnień jest ocieplanie się mórz to dlaczego ryby giną masowo także w wodach śródlądowych?
Na przykład jezioro w Glyn Ellyn,Illinois...
A pond in Glen Ellyn has become overrun with hundreds of dead fish. Neighbors first noticed the floating fish carcasses a few days ago in a pond called Maryknoll in a small subdivision just east of 355. They say the smell is awful. The pond is a popular fishing spot full of bass, catfish and bluegill, but residents aren't sure what type of fish the dead ones are, nor is it clear why they have suddenly died. The pond is connected to a stream linked to several small ponds throughout Glen Ellyn and Lisle.
...które zostało wypełnione po brzegi martwymi rybami,na dodatek jeziorko połączone strumieniem z innymi więc bynajmniej nie ze stojącą wodą.
