Two Seals Tied Together By Fishing Line and Hook

Chaos at Pelican Point. Within just a few minutes, the OCN crew spots seven different entangled seals, two tied together by a fishing line and a hook. All rescuers show excellent teamwork, one by one, they catch all seven targets and remove their entanglements. They make it look easy, but it has taken them years of practice to develop the skill set to 1) spot the animal, 2) catch it safely without injuring themselves of the animal, and 3) move on to the next target. 🦭

You are amazing! The teamwork, the skills, eagle eyes, speed, and all this safely for both team and seals. What a mess these pups got caught in, thank you for removing it and taking us along for the run. 🌊 🦭 ✂️ 🌍 💙

[@JustAlive21]

Plot twist: they're the ones fishing for them and cutting the hooks loose so they don't lose their job.

[@peterfarell7696]

@@JustAlive21 Even if that was the case it would still be better than letting them choke on their nets. If every major fishing industries were doing similar actions the impact on the ocean wildlife would be deeply reduced.

[@lindac6032]

I'm so glad you spotted the seals tied together (#5 and #6) during the seal stampede, because otherwise that big hook might have embedded itself in seal #6's flesh and the seals would have strangled each other later while they were struggling to break free. Thanks for all your hard work!🦭♻️💪

Oh my! What a marathon! At first I thought Oh good-a nice long video for us to watch but then realized the longer the video-the more seals that needed rescuing 😢 Such a run so early in the morning! Thanks gentlemen 🦭🌊💙

[@CallieMasters5000]

Wow, those megapup rescues were flying! Great results in such a short time!

[@ElsieDreamWorld]

Question: do those many entanglements in a day follow any periodicity? Like specific season or weather conditions? Because 7 entanglements today seemed like a lot from previous videos. Thanks for helping those little ones (and not so little, too). You all have a great day and stay safe. Great day OCN.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

We get more entanglements as the pups get bigger and more adventurous at sea. We usually use different tactics during this period too, like combining land and sea patrols, which have a significant impact on the success of the runs.

[@WindTurbineSyndrome]

Good question.

[@juliewilson3237]

Wonderful work guys !!!! Very frantic too . Although enjoyable to watch , it’s so sad that’s this is just a small sample of how many seals need rescuing . Bless you all ❤👍🙏

[@corrinaclark2910]

Someone should make a world wide rule or law that in order to be on any kind of ship, boat, tanker, any and all kind of ocean going boat, that EVERYONE has to spend just 1 day rescuing wildlife caught in their trash. 😢😢

Something important to understand is the editing time you spend, splicing and cutting footage for one video. How many cameras were involved and how long did it take you to put it together? People should know and appreciate your efforts.

Thank you 🙂 We normally have three cameras, and for a video of that length, the editing, the uploading and the scheduling take roughly 3 hours.
