The calf has been trapped alone in the lagoon since its pregnant mother became stranded on a rocky beach at low tide and died four weeks earlier. A rescue plan involves trying to corral the female calf into a shallow part of the 3-kilometer lagoon, using boats, divers and a net, before she would be placed in a large fabric sling and hoisted onto a transport vehicle.
