Heartwarming footage has shown the moment a baby seal was released into Sydney Harbour after being saved and nursed back to health following a shark attack.

'Narrang' the 10-month-old Long-nosed Fur Seal was found washed up and injured on Newport Beach in Sydney's northern beaches in July by NSW Park and Wildlife Services.

The seal, whose name means 'little" in Dharug Dhalang language, was taken to Taronga Wildlife Hospital for urgent care and assessment. She was released just outside of Sydney Heads on Tuesday as part of the NSW Seabirds to Seascape project. Narrang was fitted with a tracking device, and according to Taronga Zoo's wildlife biologists, travelled 60km north back to the Northern Beaches where she was first rescued.
