OCN Rescuer Races to Stop a Lethal Noose

The OCN rescuers had to move fast. A seal was spotted with commercial fishing line cutting into its neck, and we only had seconds before it reached the safety of the water. Fishing line is one of the most common and most dangerous entanglements we face. It’s designed to be nearly unbreakable and invisible in the water. Unfortunately, it doesn't distinguish between a fish and a seal. To reach this one animal, we were forced to disturb an entire colony, a stressful situation for everyone involved, but the alternative was letting that plastic noose finish its job. Until ocean littering is strictly policed and international laws are enforced, this cycle of suffering will simply continue. For seals in Namibia, we are the last line of defense. 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please visit our website to find out more about our work and how to support us: ➡ Website: https://www.ocnamibia.org/ ➡ Donate via Paypal: https://ow.ly/BTm550PIavq ➡ Donate via Stripe: https://ow.ly/Xy1F50PIMzQ ➡ Support via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OCN ➡ FAQs: https://www.ocnamibia.org/faqs Follow us on social media: ➡ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oceanconservationnamibia/ ➡ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OCNamibia ➡ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oc_namibia ➡ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ocnamibia/ ➡ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ocnamibia 😊 Thank you for every like, share, comment and subscribe 😊 Ocean Conservation International is registered as a non-profit organisation under chapter 501(c)3.
