We were too late for one of them, but the other one had a tiny little bit of fight left in her. When the rescuers from Ocean Conservation Namibia approached the two seals, they were already aware that one of them was gone, but they were hoping that at least one of them could be saved. The two were entangled together in one piece of fishing line, and there was no escape for either one of them. The surviving seal had tried hard to bite herself out of that situation, but without OCN's intervention, her life would have come to a sad end, all because of a piece of fishing line that should not have been thrown into the ocean.
The seal was barely able to breathe, the line was too tight around her neck. The extra stress from the rescue made it even worse for a few moments, but luckily the rescuers are very experienced and know how to act fast. It took one single cut to free the seal from choking. She seemed a bit disoriented, but she quickly found her way back into the ocean.
There are no rehab facilities in Namibia. Keeping her in her natural environment is her best chance of survival. We have seen amazing recoveries on much, much worse injuries on seals.
It was a bittersweet rescue, but we have to stay positive and celebrate each little victory. 🦭
