Watch: Sea Lion Rescued off Dana Point

A crew from the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach on Wednesday rescued a sick sea lion—since nicknamed Abby—which beached herself on some rocks at Strands Beach in Dana Point.

They used a GoPro video camera to record the whole thing from a first-person angle.

The PMMC reports that Abby is now resting "with her other pen-mates/characters, McGee, Franks, TonyD, Gibbs, Ziva and Ducky."

Apparently those are all names of characters on the TV show NCIS ...
