CHARLESTOWN, R.I. -- Three harbor seal pups rescued in Maine are being released back into the water in Charlestown later today.

The three seals were rescued in the spring and were then nursed back to health at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut. Officials say each of the pups was thin and they suspect the seals were abandoned by their mothers.

Now that they are well, and healthy, they're being set free to go back to the water from Blue Shutters Beach in Charlestown.
