S’more Seals is a free weekly opportunity to learn all about our local seal colony: 

Where do these seals come from? Where are they going? What’s it like working with them? And what does MERR do when they head out on a seal response? All these questions and more will be answered during our hour-long S’More Seal sessions around the firepit at Grain on the Rocks on Saturdays through the winter.

 

Grain on the Rocks will provide the backdrop as well as discounted prices on beverages and food ordered by those attending, including special S’mores-inspired hot chocolate. Grain will offer 15% orders from the restaurant, coffee shop or bar. MERR will provide visuals, artifacts, and discuss their role in the protection of these amazing marine mammals. 

​

The S’more Seal sessions are scheduled immediately following the MERR Seal Tours aboard Cape Water Tours, but you don’t have to be a participant on the vessel to attend the sessions.  Given the outdoor setting for the chats, they are subject to change based on weather. Any cancellations will be posted on our MERR’s Facebook page.

​

Bundle up the whole family, and get cozy by the fire with delicious food and beverages from Grain and learn all about our resident gray and harbor seal populations at S’more Seals sessions on Saturdays. 

Here are the tentative dates and times for this season’s sessions, but please check our Facebook page for any cancellations:​

If a member of the public encounters a seal resting on the beach or elsewhere, please call MERR immediately at 302.228.5029, and keep a distance of 150 feet. Seals will often spend about half their lives on land and rest is integral to their survival, regardless of its age, as females will often go for weeks without consuming food while they are nursing.  Approaching them closely can frighten them and add stress, causing them to retreat into the water without the necessary rest.
