(Seaside, OR) -- Beachgoers should be on the lookout for seal pups. The Seaside Aquarium says this is the time of year when seals give birth, and the pups will be left alone on the beach while the mother is hunting for food. If you see a seal pup, give it plenty of room. Any interference could cause the mother to not return. You can also call the Marine Mammal Stranding Network and they'll post signs to help keep people away from the area.
