Two Seal Rescues And A Whale!

Whales are a rare spot at Pelican Point and NO, they’re not hunting the seals. Seals in Namibia have only land-based predators like jackals and birds. Even Orcas that frequent this area once or twice a year are not hunting our seals. Both seals were caught in fishing line. Fishing activities are responsible for most of the entanglements on Cape Fur Seals. In other words: ghost fishing gear has become the biggest threat to seals and many other marine species!

    Even though she was weak, the female did a nice barrel roll to try to avoid the net. Glad you spotted her. Thanks, team!🦭🌊👏

    My heartfelt thanks for giving these two seals a life to live like they should. I can’t imagine hoe a seal must feel getting weaker and weaker everyday. Thank you OCN heroes you truly are amazing, all of you, and thank you to your wives, kids, other halves for supporting you.

    Great way to start the day OCN! The Bull was lucky to be saved before it was harmed. The young female lucky as well that the team saved it, and now can recover. Now it looks like another colony in the background that they will definitely have a few that need help as well. Thank you guys for all you do EVERY day!

    That bull was as determined to get away from you as you were to net him ... nice job, Naude. It was sad when you zipped the net back up on the pup because it was somewhat effortless -- usually after you cut the entanglement and the seal can breathe again, their bodies expand more. SOOOOO glad you got them in time ... the OCN team ROCKS 💙

    Hi all! I’ve watched a lot of videos, and now I almost always guess how the rescue of a seal will go, whether they will open the net on both sides, release it forward, backward, or take ropes, but sometimes I’m wrong.

    the bulls always test your strength, and your abilities to catch them with the big nets, but after getting fully netted he calmed down, and let the line get cut away. the smaller seal looked like she had an infection. after she returns to the water, she can start healing, and eat lots of fish to put weight back on, and get stronger. great rescues👍👍

    Purtroppo con i nostri salvataggi non stiamo risolvendo il problema, ma trattando solo i sintomi della crisi della plastica. Questi video mirano a mostrare le conseguenze di questo inquinamento e creare un cambiamento per affrontarne le radici, vale a dire la nostra dipendenza dalla plastica monouso, la mancanza di forze dell’ordine in mare e le carenze dell’industria del riciclaggio.
