A statewide effort to track Rhode Island’s seal po A statewide effort to track Rhode Island’s seal population counted 590 seals in just two hours during Save The Bay’s annual survey, officials said. The count, held March 18, brought together 43 scientists, naturalists and volunteers who monitored sites across the coast and Narragansett Bay. The effort, now in its 18th year, provides a snapshot estimate of how many seals are present at a given moment. “The Rhode Island count is a really special event,” said July Lewis, Save The Bay’s volunteer and internship manager, noting the collaboration between shoreline observers and researchers on the water. Harbor seals — the most common species in Narragansett Bay — are typically seen during colder months and play a key role as top predators. Gray seals, once rare in the bay, are increasingly common offshore, particularly around Block Island. While this year’s total was slightly lower than last year, experts say long-term data shows the mainland population remains relatively stable. At the same time, gray seal numbers continue to grow, especially on Block Island. Tara Plee, a marine biologist with the Rhode Island Division of Marine Fisheries, said the data helps scientists better understand seal movements and guide conservation efforts. Volunteers were critical to the effort, particularly on Block Island, where covering the shoreline would be nearly impossible without community support, said The Nature Conservancy’s Kim Gaffett. Officials also reminded the public to keep a safe distance from seals. Federal law prohibits disturbing marine mammals, and experts recommend staying at least 50 yards away on land or water. Signs of stress — including increased vocalization or movement toward the water — mean observers should back off immediately. The annual count offers just a snapshot, but over time it helps paint a clearer picture of how Rhode Island’s seal populations are evolving. #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Seahawks are making waves — and this time, they’re Seahawks are making waves — and this time, they’re on top. @salvesailing sailed away with a dominant first-place finish at the Brenton Cove Team Race last weekend, racking up 14 wins in 18 races and notching a program-first victory in team racing. “This weekend marked a milestone for the program,” head coach Brittney Manning said. “While there is still work to be done, the result is a strong indicator of the team’s growth and upward trajectory.” In college sailing, the spring season shifts into high-intensity team racing — a head-to-head format where three boats from each school battle in a round-robin showdown. And Salve delivered. The breakthrough didn’t happen overnight. Manning said the foundation was built last spring when the team hit pause on team racing to sharpen fundamentals in fleet racing — a move that’s now paying off in a big way. After a grueling spring break training block featuring twice-daily practices, film sessions and weight training, the results are clear. “The difference in execution, communication and confidence… is nearly night-and-day,” Manning said. The Seahawks also got a boost from assistant coach Nick Johnstone, whose on-the-water presence — often racing alongside the team — helped raise the level of competition in practice. Now, Salve is riding the momentum into the heart of the spring season. Next up: a return to fleet racing at the Vietor Trophy at Connecticut College and home invitationals, both key tune-ups ahead of the New England Dinghy Tournament on April 4-5 — which Salve will host. If last weekend was any indication, the Seahawks aren’t just improving — they’re arriving. 📸 castle.image #salveregina #newportbuzz
