HAMPTON, N.H. (AP) — A marine biologist is asking town officials in Hampton, N.H., to put rules in place to deal with any dead seals that wash ashore on town beaches.

The Portsmouth Herald reports that Ellen Goethel will go before the Hampton Board of Selectmen on Monday. Last year, she helped the town get permission from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to remove dead seals, and she says she wants to make sure that permission continues in order to protect the public and town workers.
