On June 23, 2010, a fisherman spotted a very ill young orca swimming in the Wadden Sea off the coast of the Netherlands. A team from the Dolphinarium Harderwijk rescued her and brought her to their facility where they administered emergency medical treatment for extreme starvation as well as dehydration, and she was named Morgan. | On June 23, 2010, a fisherman spotted a very ill young [[orca]] swimming in the Wadden Sea off the coast of the Netherlands.

The permit they were granted for her rescue also detailed that she was to be released as soon as possible. However, the Dolphinarium claimed that Morgan’s family could not be located, and so release would be impossible. | The permit they were granted for her rescue also detailed that she was to be released as soon as possible.
