My name is Natsaha.
I'm from Japan.
It's 1984 and we're in Bahia Blanca, a port city in Argentina's Buenos Aires province.
It's where Jorge's journey begins.
But to tell you more, we need to climb on board a fishing boat with marine biologist Alejandro Salbadet from the Aquarium Mar del Plata.
Step carefully, the deck is a bit wet.
Where we are is a biodiversity hotspot, which means there's loads of wildlife migrating here.
One of the animals is Jorge.
They're named after their oversized heads, which look a bit like a log.
He's around 20 years old and an experienced hunter.
Back on the boat and the fishermen have brought up their nets when they realise there's something tangled in it.
Something heavy.
Something injured.
It's Jorge.
He's not meant to be in the net.
So what do they do?
