Seal Trapped in Hat

Wally sums it up perfectly: it is almost unfortunate that this hat is of such good quality. It lasts so long, it remains a hazard for so long. Who knows how many times this hat would have caused pain and injury to an animal in the future, if the OCN rescue team hadn't found it today?
Plastic takes decades, if not centuries to biodegrade.
As always, we do not know how the entanglement ended up in the ocean and who is responsible. This cap could have been caught by wind, or fallen into the water from a high vessel. It could have been left behind by a beach visitor, or somebody could have thrown it away because it was old or broken. None of these scenarios are acceptable.
