SHARK RESCUE
Shark day at OCN - due to low oxygen levels following an algae bloom in the Walvis Bay Lagoon, lots of fish and sharks and stingrays were struggling to breathe and were beaching themselves. It is a natural occurrence but could very well be accelerated by environmental factors such as climate change. These animals were at risk of both - suffocation as well as being caught by locals for consumption. The team successfully shuttled 14 sharks and stingrays back to the open ocean, about 15 km away from where we found them.
Tony needed a little trip to the doctor after a disagreement with a stingray. He is okay, and so is Tony. The doctor gave him a plaster for his finger, and everything has healed up very nicely by now. 🦭

As much as I love seal rescues, it's always nice to see how much the team cares for the other marine life in the region. Especially sharks, as it helps people to see they are just as worthy of saving as any other animal.
I just love to see children being taught to love and care for wildlife. Great job everyone! Fifteen sharks and rays will live to see another day because of your compassion and effort.
I honestly had a terrible day but watching you all work so hard to save those sharks and teach our next generation to have compassion and empathy for all animals has made the end of the day a lot better. Thank you for being a constant reminder that there are truly good, kind, and selfless people in the world. You are all amazing people and deserve more accolades than what I can give in a simple KZread comment. Thank you for being some of the best of us.

@@PacMonster0 I mean, it doesn't if you actually read it and don't miss out words. They're not *generally* lethal. I would imagine that yes, knife wounds are not generally lethal either. I have cut my fingers with knives numerous times in the past and none killed me or required hospitalisation. Your post made it seem like every encounter required rapid medical attention or you'd end up like Steve Irwin. Generally, stingray stings are not fatal. Steve was hit in a very particular way, that killed him. This doesn't mean you shouldn't get it checked out medically, they're poisonous and they often leave debris behind in the wound (which obviously has the chance of getting infected) but you're overstating it by bringing up steve's death, being stabbed in the heart is quite different than being stabbed in the hand or arm and it's not difficult to tell the difference between the two. It is pretty similar to saying "you don't fuck around with knife wounds I know someone who died" and then getting offended if someone points out the vast majority of knife wounds probably just require a bandaid. Although again a stingray stab is not a knife wound it's an intentional attack and is more complicated, you should probably get it looked at medically, let's just not overstate it.

Dear Tony take care of yourself we think all the seals need you
This was a fantastic team effort to save these poor sharks and rays. I love to see you all pitching in and was a good experience for the girls. Dylan, God love him, is such a good young bloke and soaks up the experiences he has with Naude. He is a credit to Naude and Katja. Thank goodness Katja noticed the shark as she drove past the lagoon. Tony couldn't help but get a little scratch in on the first shark. Shark babies are pups too so an, "It's okay puppy", would not have been out of place. It's a bummer that he was cut by the rays barb though. Ouch. Thank you all so much for your life saving deeds. ☮️❤️🦘🇦🇺

You are all so amazing. You find sharks and a stingray in trouble, capture them, take them to another beach and release them. Then go back and find more to save. Then go back and find more to save.
