Seal Rescues: WHY and HOW

Seal Rescues: WHY and HOW
Spread The Viralist



A little bit more background to Antoine’s and Naude’s efforts to free seals in Namibia from Ocean rubbish and plastic pollution: see how they spot the animals, how they identify the ones they can get to, and eventually the rescue.
Ocean Conservation Namibia has rescued over 200 seals this year alone. Most of our seals are caught in discarded fishing gear that the seals pick up from the ocean. Without intervention, they would find a horrible and slow end because of suffocation and starvation.

We have made it our mission to catch and release as many animals as possible.

  1. I want to see footage "back at the office" and your collection of fishing line and other things that you have taken off of the seals. You probably have a room full of it.

  2. Heróis não usam capa: usam tesouras para cortar linhas de pesca que matam cachorrinhos . Parabéns a todos vocês. Meu dia fica melhor vendo os salvamentos. Obrigada

  3. What if a drone is used to find all the dangerous stuff floating around that causes them to get entangled. Then some people could get it before it causes any damage.

  4. As children our mum insisted we pick up a shopping bag of rubbish each before we were allowed to swim. It became a habit I keep up even now, decades later. Glass, straws and clear jellyfish like plastic then anything else. It was a little irritating back then but now I see she was forward looking.

  5. Good to see the shot of the jackals. That answers the question of what you do with dead seals. The scavengers take care of the carrion. Good to know.

  6. Woods hole oceanographic institute in Massachusetts had a big symposium on this plastics in ocean problem how scientists can study it to make govt put money into solution. Many communities here by ocean banned thin plastic grocery bags.

  7. Great job, guys! You must be the fittest, most courageous men on the face of the planet. Your work is a wake-up call for the world to give up plastic and eat only responsibly harvested foods.
