Seal "Dressed" in Plastic Bag

The rescuers identified two seals with entanglement from far away with the help of excellent binoculars and a lot of experience, and a bit of luck. Tony quickly caught his "good pup" and Denzil was also successful with the second target, just on time before it would have escaped to the ocean. To be able to use the big net again, the OCN rescuers relocated one pup into a smaller net and they continued to look for more. Naude spotted two more seals - a young one with a thin piece of plastic around its neck, and a fourth one that seemed to wear a big plastic bag like a piece of clothing. Between Wally and Naude, they caught those two and they ended up with a fifth seal in a net - all of them waiting patiently for their turn to be rescued. An excellent day for seals! 🦭

Fast backwards about 1.5 years - Naude working alone, without a net... And now - multiple members, multiple nets, multiple saves!!!! Amazing teamwork, thank you guys!

[@ValeriePallaoro]

Really?? The tech certainly has been upgraded and those hand held nets are a game changer for little pups.

[@Aiko2-26-9]

And multiple cameras. Getting the information out to the world is part of the answer to this problem.

[@splintmeow4723]

The seal savior army is growing… soon every pup will have a hooman to watch over them!

@@NerinaRSA Anyone who can buy their merchandise will be helping towards that. And, it's quality stuff!!

[@FartingSpider12]

Sorry, but could you elaborate where you got this information? I'm not saying that OCN hasnt been growing but literally the very first video (the first video still viewable anyway) posted to this channel is of Naude and his colleagues catching seals together with a net. On top of that, in the interview with Naude on the channel Scientific Society Swakopmund, Naude states they've been doing this regularly for around 4 or 5 years. Not sure if you know something I don't or if I know something you didn't (or if you're just blatantly spreading misinformation) but it seems that your comment contains a fair bit of innacuracy.

[@sonnenkuss9355]

Naude, Denzil, Toni and Wally you are my heroes! Thanks so much!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

We are unfortunately only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. The goal of these videos is 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.
