Video Summary
AI GeneratedOn August 21, 2019, during a tagging event at the harbourfront, a team rescued a known female marine animal. The animal had a hook and netting lodged in its throat, preventing the debris from being swallowed or removed naturally. After the team successfully cleared the obstruction and took necessary measurements, the animal was released back into the wild.
On the 21st of August 2019 we were down on the harbourfront prepping for a tagging event
and we spotted a female that we know very well with net trailing from her mouth.
We realised there was a hook lodged at the back of the throat.
It meant that the net got lodged in the throat and it wasn't able to be
ingested nor was it able to be pulled out safely.
After taking her measurements we were able to release her back into the water
to swim freely again.
