Quick and Easy Seal Rescue

Thin strings such as this one are as sharp as razorblades and cut through a seal’s skin like butter. Fortunately, there was no scar or any other visible sign of injury yet, and the seal pup would never know how dangerous his situation was. He is strong and healthy and will hopefully live a long and pain free life. Very few animals are disturbed during the rescue and the team moves on to the next animal in need.

If you cannot pick up a piece of plastic on your local beach, please donate a dollar to the OCN team so they can continue to save these beautiful creatures

[@gladysedgell2410]

We all like to see those quick and easy rescues . Best part is to see the seal running to ocean quickly and free of entanglements. Thank you .💙🦭🌊

[@nicklager1666]

We all want to see many videos of quick and easy rescues, but most importnatly videos that mean seals running to the coean without entanglements.

I so appreciate this team! Denzil for his speed, Antoine for the wonderful way he talks to the seals, Naude for being so passionate, Wally for cleverly carrying necessary tools, and all the rest for keeping this organization thriving!

[@luciebrisson5881]

Good to see an easy rescue for all involved. But whatever it is, OCN is always there to make things as right as can be. Thank you!!

[@lindac6032]

You all have such good instincts! Even if you are not sure there is a problem, you can tell if a seal is moving more slowly, or just not behaving normally. Thank you, great job, team!👏😊

[@kathyschwartz4998]

Chubby pup! Now he'll continue to grow! Thank you so much!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

🙂👍

[@ricardopescador4971]

Antoine is so legtimate. How he tenderly talks to the seals, expecting an answer is heartmelting!

[@louisemackay1016]

The run to the ocean free of the entanglement is the best 🥰 Thank you team ❤

[@suek.5057]

Thank you, OCN angels, for your dedication to these beautiful animals. ❤

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Our efforts are just a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of tonnes of trash entering the world's oceans every year. We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea, and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

[@olgapyat]

Hi all! Fast and easy! But this is only thanks to the experience and daily rescue operations of these particular rescuers. I’m not sure that any man could run with this net, and so deftly catch a seal, and even more deftly and quickly get to its neck and cut the rope, and even guess on which shoulder the knot is, and even speak kindly to the seal. )) Thanks guys! Today is May 1, 2024. This amazing channel has 1.92 million subscribers (the number has not changed for 12 days. Disgrace!!! We are waiting for another 80,000 subscribers!) Subscribe if you have not already done so. By subscribing, liking, commenting, donating and reposting, you help save seals. And also an addition from the comment: “Allow the video to run in the background and let the additions take their course. And all this can be done with multiple yt accounts and it's all free, but OCN helps" My dear friend

[@Mcat7101]

Hi. I like your added message. Your English is really good, but where you have used the word 'additions', I think you may prefer to use 'adverts' and I think you may want to say 'helps OCN'. I hope you don't mind, but I am thinking that some readers may need to translate your comment to their own language, and it may get muddled. I just thought you would want to know if you.are going to add it daily😊 Good wishes, and I really do hope for peace for your country soon💙

[@olgapyat]

@@Mcat7101 , Thank you. I included a direct quote from the comment. My English is not very good, I’ll try to figure out your additions tomorrow, but if it’s not difficult, then write how it will sound in full.

[@Mcat7101]

Your English is very good. I enjoy your comments everyday, so that's how I noticed. It doesn't matter to English speakers, who will understand your meaning - it's only if someone translates the comment💙

[@Mcat7101]

​@@olgapyatI don't know if this helps, but I am sending you the wording for the last bit as I'm sure it's hard to know what I mean ".....and let the adverts run their course. All this can be done with multiple yt accounts and it's all free, but helps OCN." I really like your comments and mean only to be helpful💙

[@olgapyat]

@@Mcat7101 ,Thanks again ! (I got to the computer late today, and your comment was very helpful.)

[@carlavanherrewaarden6451]

Luckily there are also rescues like this one, where a still uninjured seal is easily captured, and removing the entanglement + releasing the seal is done in no time. Thanks guys!💕🦭

[@sylviarivas8817]

The perfect save. All that was needed for the seal was a good back scratch.❤

[@posnrg2u327]

An item of interest in the videos is how variable the weather can be in Namibia from one day to the next.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

The weather here fluctuates a lot. It can be foggy in the morning and windy in the afternoon 😁.

What is the lost tool recovery rate? So glad the pup wasn't hurt!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Very high recovery rate. We all have personal tools, so we notice immediately when a tool is missing.

[@abigailhowes5944]

I have an odd question, but in many cases when whales are caught up in debris, and divers or boaters assist in the removal, the animal realizes what you are doing or did. In many cases they offer a "thank you". I get the impression that these animals don't seem to understand what is going on and rush away as though they were under attack. Some do seem to understand, but do they understand or is their reaction due to the pain of the removal of the debris that is cutting into them? I know it is traumatizing to be tangled up in our trash, and then to be captured and put in nets for their care. Just was wondering how much communication there is between humans and animals of that level of intelligence.

[@nellinightshade3358]

Fortunately you also do slow and hard rescues.

[@jennyjansen754]

How did he ever see that? It was seal colored.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

We scan the different groups of Cape fur seals with binoculars from far away, looking for imperfections in their fur. This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.
