A seal entangled in netting was rescued at an Oregon Coast beach Saturday.
The Seaside Aquarium responded to a report at 11 a.m. Saturday that a Guadalupe fur seal was entangled at a beach in Arch Cape.
Aquarium staff found the seal on an offshore rock and moved it into an animal carrier for transport. The seal will be taken to a rehabilitation center and officials hope to release it back into the ocean after a veterinary assessment.
Officials said they initially received reports about the seal on July 1, but that it fled back into the ocean after a member of the public tried to remove the netting it had become entangled in. The aquarium is reminding the public to contact trained responders for marine mammal emergency situations.
Members of the public who see a marine mammal trapped in netting should give the animal plenty of space, keep dogs away and call the West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network at 1-866-767-6114.
