The OCN rescuers have their eyes on a moving target. She is already on the move, trying to get away from her rescuers, even Denzil cannot get to her on time. Tony does not accept defeat and jumps into the waves and successfully brings the entangled animal back to shore. The rescues put the seal in the net to stop her from escaping, and a few second later they remove a thin loop of fishing line from her neck. The fishing line trace is very primitive and the rescuers speculate that it might have been made by bored sailors on a ship on anchorage. They often do not have professional fishing equipment and they have to get by with the tools and material they have available.
Either way – it should not have been thrown and left into the ocean.
