Auckland's resident leopard seal Owha has had a health scare after she was found with fishing gear in her mouth.
The seal, who is known for lounging around the Westhaven Marina, had hooks, a fishing line and a sinker removed from her mouth last week.
Volunteers from Leopardseals.org were involved in the rescue attempt and Ingrid Visser, the co-founder of the group, was one of them.
She spoke to Corin Dann.
