Linda Doughty lives in Maine, surrounded by the sea and a lot of Marine mammals. She loves those curious, charismatic Harbor Seals, the most common Marine mammals in the State. And she thought it was neat to see them. She found there were lots of threats to them. For instance, when a Harbor Seal pup is born, its mom leaves to forage food for 4 weeks. After she arrives, if she spots her pup surrounded and touched by people she doesn't approach it and this tiny little pup cannot survive alone. Besides, there were many Harbor Seals entangled, hit by a boat, and injured by a prop. So, she became a Marine biologist to rehabilitate them. Most of the non-profit state agencies for marine animal response she worked with have closed down because they lost funding. Then, she decided to open a center on her own. Marine Mammals of Maine runs a 24-hour hotline for reporting marine mammal strandings. They cover 2500 miles along the coast. Most of the animals they respond to are 90% of Seals. They intervene in their life only if it is needed. When they bring them into their center they do IV, fluid therapy, and diagnostics to make a medical plan. She’s been doing this for 20 years. She said she will keep doing it as long as she can.
