  • Plastic strap entanglements are unusual at Cape Cross. They are normally found near the Walvis Bay fish factories where they are commonly used to hold together bait boxes. The sudden increase in plastic strap entanglements at Cape Cross is bad news, seals already have to deal with large amounts of recreational fishing line in this area. We will keep an eye on this alarming development!

    It gets so much more unsafe when the pups run in the crevices full of water. Spreading it and making the rock faces slippery. You want to catch them quickly but its so easy to slip. Nice seeing Dylan.

    Nasty strap would have badly cut and eventually killed the pup. He's had a bad start to life but now, he has the chance to grow and thrive. Dangerous terrain, glad you were able to net him and nobody was hurt. Thank you OCN!

    No conversations? That is unusual. I love how the seals find a puddle in the rocks and try to swim before they realize it's too small a body of water and they begin to 'run' again!

      Os nossos esforços são apenas uma gota no oceano em comparação com os milhões de toneladas de lixo que entram nos oceanos do mundo todos os anos.
      Infelizmente não estamos resolvendo o problema, mas apenas tratando os sintomas da crise do plástico com nossos resgates. Estes vídeos pretendem mostrar as consequências desta poluição e criar uma mudança para enfrentar as suas raízes - nomeadamente a nossa dependência de plásticos descartáveis, a falta de aplicação da lei no mar e as deficiências da indústria de reciclagem.

      Наши усилия - всего лишь капля в море по сравнению с миллионами тонн мусора, ежегодно попадающими в мировой океан.
      К сожалению, мы не решаем проблему, а лишь лечим симптомы пластикового кризиса с помощью наших спасательных средств. Эти видеоролики призваны показать последствия этого загрязнения и изменить его корни, а именно: нашу зависимость от одноразового пластика, отсутствие правоохранительных органов на море и недостатки индустрии переработки.

    What do you guys do with the plastic you remove from the seals?

    • @OceanConservationNamibia
      @OceanConservationNamibia  18 днів тому

      After each rescue, we photograph each individual entanglement and record details such as the sex and age of the Cape fur seal, the date and precise location of the rescue, and the type and severity of the entanglement. We then store all the items in our garage to ensure that they do not get to torture or kill another animal ever again.
      We have in the past tried to reuse different materials to create objects like cutting boards and fridge magnets, but the process was unfortunately far too energy-demanding.
