Seal Saved From Bundle of Fishing Line

The seal could not move as some of the line was around her back flippers. It’s disturbing to think of how many bundles of these 50-meter-long fishing lines are in our oceans, amongst other rubbish. We hope whoever is responsible for leaving this bundle of line In the sea gets to watch this video. Next time, please take your trash home!

It's sickening to see that skinny seal alone on the beach, somewhat tied down by human trash. She probably hasn't eaten for days. Thank you, Naude and Antoine, you've saved her life.

[@user-sx3ji7ne8n]

Poor seal, but her lucky day that someone was caring enough to report her to OCN ! Thank you for her rescue🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@lindac6032]

Thanks to the tour guides who called in this entanglement. OCN on speed dial!😊

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

🙂👍

[@sandyr1789]

Awesome rescue! Thank you to Tony and Naude, with excellent assistance from Marley and Nina, for freeing the seal from the dangerous entanglement!

[@posnrg2u327]

Hopefully she has the energy needed to fish, so she can survive. Thank you to all of team OCN (including Molly and Nina) for rescuing that sad, almost hopeless seal. Maybe when she gets in the sea she’ll realize she has been freed of her entanglement!

[@lindac6032]

It's so sad when a seal comes to shore to die alone. She could barely move with all that line wrapped around her body. Thank you for freeing her so she can hunt and regain her strength. (I wonder what happened to her pup...?)🦭🌊♻️

[@ishp2]

Friendly reminder: Pls. don't skip the ads. It helps moneytize the videos for our studly gentlemen! Let's all (around the world) and become 1 in helping keep our mother earth clean! PEACE!

[@fannycraddock99]

Poor seal could hardly run. Great to see the junior team assisting. Thanks guys.

[@id10t98]

Thank you for showing the seal getting back to the water! For me, it is what makes the entire video worth watching- knowing they have a chance and made it back to "their" habitat.

[@swansong5263]

So many thank yous to these wonderful Caring people. It really warms the heart to see such Kindness displayed. Best wishes to you all.

[@annemaclean6634]

Another poor little seal entangled in these awful fishing lines, thank goodness you were able to cut it off, guys. Another great rescue, well done. 👍👍

[@Gretchen-vh9xt]

Oh my gosh. Poor baby. Thank you for saving her.

[@nicklager1666]

We love the extended OCN crew. And im glad they want to join you on rescues every now and then. More eyes means more seals that can be rescued.

[@deborahlynn4439]

Yes - they are awesome!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

👍

[@lindac6032]

I'm happy to see the girls helping out with the rescue. Good job with the camera, Marley!👏

[@melissawarfield]

Seeing the seal laying there exhausted with the snook line entangled around the body. I'm glad that the snook line was loose. I'm happy you brought the girls with you. Marley did a great job in filming. Girls continue with the work your Dad's do. Be the heroines you are meant to be. I bless all of you

[@hendriklurse6518]

Thank you my heroes for saving her ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏻

[@anitasyvalahti1730]

@hendriklurse6518, hello Hendrik👋😊, greetings.

[@robertm348]

Perhaps you could bring a bucket of fish to give one to each rescued seal. That lady would have probably greatly appreciated it!

[@LRBerry]

Good to see the family getting involved with the rescue.

[@olgapyat]

Nice to see you all! It's also great to see all the rescuers and two wonderful girls! But a lonely seal on the beach, who could not leave with his friends because he got tangled in a fishing line - this is very sad. But you saved him. ) Running into the waves, the seal looked back, and it was wonderful! November, day twenty-four. This amazing channel has 1.76 million subscribers. Let's like and subscribe - this also helps the channel. I thank the team for saving lives.

[@annrafealov3618]

Awesome save. That poor female seal...so skinny because she couldnt hunt ... you guys are my heros. Thank you Thank you for everything you do.

[@ladyj9330]

To see her so skinny, so wrapped up in line lying alone on the beach as if waiting to die......😭!! Thank you guys for giving her a chance! And the way she fought the net....she has not given up! Hope she puts on weight and joins her group!

[@jselectronics8215]

Did she look back as iif to say thank you?

[@gladysedgell2410]

That was sad to see the seal all alone and very skinny. Now she has a chance to eat and fatten up. Thank you OCN and the junior team.♥️🦭🌊✌🏻

[@anitasyvalahti1730]

Oh, poor seal 😢. Glad you got the seal notification. Kind people ❤. Great work, Naude, Tony, Nina and Marley 👏❣. I hope that seal gains weight 🌊🐟🐟🐟🐟🦭💓.

[@myreallife6386]

As she ran away, the seals mouth was so wide open as if she could not believe what juts happened! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾A miracle.

[@j4v4x]

That seal was laying there waiting to die. Alone. Thank you for saving her!! 💙🖤🤍

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

👍

[@ellenschneider7787]

The one good thing about the snoek line being so fresh and new is that this girl was probably the first seal it entangled-and now she will be the last one that it entangles. Well done team!🦭🌊💙

[@user-nw4ur3iy2z]

Бедолага лежал один. У него сил не было уплыть. Ребята вам большой респект. Мильлион лайков.,

[@luciebrisson5881]

It was so sad seeing her all alone there. I hope she had not come out of the surf to die. Thank you OCN for cutting her free and I hope she can hunt and eat and gain weight and strength.

[@andrebalsa203]

Thank you for your excellent work saving these seals and for preparing and educating the next generation.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

👍

[@JCsJennifer726]

WELL DONE, OCN Team👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰‼️ I love the fact that you went out just to find that one seal that was entangled. Absolutely above and beyond what most people would do! You are the best!!! May God bless you and yours for giving so much of yourselves to help the helpless seals🙏🏻❣️

[@Ranchorita]

You folks have incredible net skills. I am awed by how you have to anticipate your moving targets so that you don't harm them further. Nice job!

[@bkm2797]

Another save of an innocent seal, now she has a second chance thanks to you!

[@Celia-nz2sk]

Pobre, que pena verla tan sólita, la deseo mucha suerte,y que pronto se ponga fuerte y preciosa 💖 .gracias equipo. Besitos. 🥰

[@Oksana_C]

[@nancybruno7351]

Great work. Just sitting on the beach, that seal must have been exhausted. Love that you found that quickly.

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

👍

[@carolleighton4579]

Must have been a real handicap for her having all that trash around the neck and body, sad to see her all alone on the beach, 😢 what a difference when the line was removed. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

👍

[@paulettebillinge]

Ah bless her. She really was in trouble. Thanks guys, fantastic as usual. ❤❤

[@RL-RL]

Poor girl was all alone and stuck in a mess. OCN comes in and saves her! Now go eat and get healthy again!!!

[@franceshorton918]

I loved the way she looked back, took a quick stocktake, and went into the ocean! Hopefully, now she will find her group (and maybe her pup if she had one) and will recover her health and her life! 🐟 🐠 🐟 🐠

[@suek.1507]

Thank you all for saving her. ❤ OCN

[@user-xn3zn6mc1k]

Ребята, вы замечательные!

[@gunhildrandom]

She looked like she’d given up. Thanks for giving her a chance.

[@christine3627]

It was meant to be, she was waiting for you to come so she would be freed. OCN’s compassion and messaging save lives, thank you for showing how critical this work is! ❤

[@haggielady]

Thanks to all four of you.

[@patriciawilson1836]

She looked back over her shoulder....a quick thanks❤❤😊

[@tabby73]

Poor baby I felt so sad for her 😢 how long has she suffered and starved? Thank you for helping her 🙏🏻 I hope she was able to eat now.

[@rosabravo6336]

Wow! She looks very skinny and weak! Hope and pray that this wonderful work you do helps her recover! BTW I love that you involve the little ones in this mission that with your heart in your hand you are carrying out!!

[@Yanquetino]

So glad the tour guides gave you the alert! Poor thing was isolated because of that bulky unwieldy entanglement.

[@juliesong4123]

Poor girl all alone on the beach and then here the OCN Angels come!!!

[@eponack]

Aw, don’t see them alone. It’s like she was waiting to die. Second chance brought to you by OCN!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

[@elenacortesfrias442]

Goooood job

[@TheShmoo123]

Ahhhh, all on her own, waiting for help. Thank you OCN 💛👍🏽

[@elaborowiec3976]

Jakby na Was czekała❤😂 Dziękujemy i życzymy dużo miłości❤💋🇵🇱👍

[@gardengnome132]

The girl had a strong will to live to survive an entanglement that long. I hope she now makes a full recovery, thanks so much to Naude and Tony for saving her. I doubt she had many days left.

[@jamesbarca7229]

She's skinny but she still has strength and spirit, which bodes well for her.

[@Nova-bf9mg]

Every time i see u all doing ur thang, y guys r the best. True to the mother..... .. ..

[@srsusansummers3070]

Thanks for the rescue hopefully free she can hunt better and gain weight. ❤❤❤

[@joanegiard-2633]

Merci pour eux tous.

[@user-gy6dr2xw2t]

Спасибо вам 1000 раз , дорогая команда OCN за спасение этой измученной самки тюленя! Теперь у нее есть шанс выжить!

[@vickybaldwin6472]

It was a nice day for rescues. 😊

[@bentleyporscheanderson7726]

Woof, Team OCN suggestion : Can you place a large clear plexiglass box filled with the lines, hooks, etc etc!!! Placed on your nearest boardwalk (lots of foot travel) and a plaque explaining your mission. A short film of the SRCCR SPOT ~ RUN ~ CATCH ~ CUT ~ Release 🦭❤️ People need to see your work. Best wishes from the 🐾Scottish terriers from sunny 😎 Southern California 🌴

[@RebelsBestFriend]

Awww, your babies are with you, always good to see them. That mama seal was literally on her last leg. She had almost given up and how horrible it must have been for her. She was completely left behind by the rest of the group. Now she is free again to thrive and eat. Thank you God.

[@MI.Leonhardt53]

I love what you do! In cases like this I do wish you had a bucket of fish to feed them before sending them off. Kick start nourishment of sorts. You all are awesome! Nice to see the girls out there!

[@OceanConservationNamibia]

Having wild animals associating humans with food hardly ever ends well for the animal. These are wild seals who are naturally weary of dead food that they find in the wild and would have to be trained to accept dead fish from us.

[@mnicholl93]

Seems like this seal used pretty much the last of her strength to get somewhere she could be spotted & helped. She didnt seem to have mich fight left, bless her, looking so very weak & skinny. I'll never tire of watching rescued seals, finally free from their entanglements, return to the sea with renewed energy & truly a new chance of life laid out in front of them. I hope this seal lady caught herself a nice fish supper before enjoying her first sleep for a long time free from the entanglement she'd had to drag around for so long 😊 Great to see the next generation of OCN crusaders learning from the best! As well as envolving them with the filming of rescues, let them see how you edit videos before posting them; it will help them better understand what they need to capture, & what work best when filming. Great job girls, keep it up 🙌🏻🫶🏻🦭🙏🏻

[@christyliebel9500]

Excellent work! My only concern was the potential for butt crack. 😳😖 So glad that was avoided. 🤣😉

[@4july99]

They are such survivors! She was skinny but still feisty. I bet those first few fish tasted good!

[@lynngreene1993]

Good to see the girls on board to save the girl seal ♡ what a sad sight to see her all alone. Maybe she had resigned herself to her entrapment and thought she would just perish on the beach 😢😢 thanks to the kayakers team OCN to the rescue 👍 Eat well skinny 🌊🌊🌊🐟🐟🐟

[@ts.elliot5870]

Thanks Tony for talking the patients thru the procedure. Im sure its reassuring for the seals to know whats happening. Good job everyone!

[@markae0]

Seal thinks "Who were those guys?"

When mature animals separate themselves from the group, it's usually to heal or most likely to die.

Good thing the kayak tour guides know whom to call whenever they spot an entangled seal. This female seemed to be quite weakened because of that long piece of line around her. Thanks for cutting her free!❤️🦭

Shame, there was no way for her to hunt as it was around her flippers too. At least she will now have the chance to regain her strength.
