MARINE lovers have not forgotten about Rocky, a juvenile southern elephant seal stranded on a beach in KwaZulu-Natal.

This was evident when they wondered if the seal galumphing in Gordon's Bay was Rocky.

A healthy-looking Rocky had been stranded in Rocky Bay in October last year, and a uShaka Sea World team decided to relocate him to a quieter beach to rest without interruption. Rocky returned to the water but was hauled out again on another beach. It was then decided to take Rocky to the uShaka Sea World rehabilitation facility for tests and recovery.

In March, after spending five months under the care of uShaka Sea World staff, Rocky was hoisted onto a vessel heading for Cape Town. He was reintroduced into the ocean off the continental shelf 25 nautical miles from Gqeberha.
