Saved Pelican

While snorkeling this morning among the rocks at the north end of La Ropa we came across a pelican caught up in fishing line. Upon close examination I decided not to attempt the rescue but went back to shore and talked to Laura at the Sotavento. She called the bombaderos who said they would check it out. Hopefully this will have a happy ending.
Thanks Laura

Most pelicans will allow you to disentangle them from fishing line. Unfortunately, most have been caught multiple times. Usually, the fisherman will do it.
