The OCN rescuers have a very specific life saving set of skills: they can spot near invisible entanglements. Even in a group of constantly moving seals, often 50 or 100 meters away, they can see a teeny tiny little tag (a knot in a loop of fishing line) sticking out of a seal's pelt. They have refined and improved this skill by doing more than 3000 successful seal rescues over the past 9 years. We simply cannot tell if there are more entanglements in 2022 than in 2013, or if we are just seeing t

Fishing line is our most common culprit for seal entanglements. Seals and the fishing industry compete for the same resource: fish. Naturally, they often cross paths.

Discarded fishing gear conveniently disappears in the waves as if nothing had happened. Entanglements cause immense pain and suf

Seals do not know that we are not a threat, they do not understand that we want to help them. Naturally, they run away as we get closer, and very often we lose sight of our target seals in the crowd, like today. As we run closer, we get a better look at other entangled seals we might have missed from the distance, like Antoine's seal. She is already very weak, and she has a very deep wound around her neck caused by a thing loop of fishing line. Hopefully she will make it to rich feeding grounds

Severe sand storms in Namibia prevented the team from Ocean Conservation Namibia from patrolling the beaches at Pelican Point for seal entanglement. Thursday evening, we got a little gap in the weather and Denzil, Naude and Antoine used the time to find this big male Cape Fur Seal adult. He had about 45 strands of fishing line wrapped around his neck and body. Because of the heat, most of the seals were sitting close to the water and the activists had to approach the animal by car. Naude nearly
