34 Seals Rescued In One Day!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This was absolute chaos! We kept finding entangled seal after entangled seal. This was during the peak of our rescue season in 2023. Therefore. we can’t say we expected such a high number, but we can’t say we’re surprised either. From group to group, we find seals mainly entangled in fishing and plastic related trash. 34 Seals have been saved, but the problem lives on. If we want to create a safe environment for our marine animals, we will all have to change our behavior.

34... the world's saddest world record GOOD JOB GOOD PEOPLE
The saddest indeed 😔
@OceanConservationNamibia yes and no..a sad thing that so many seals have become tangled in the world of commercial and recreational fishing..and no..because you and your team do whatever to see the seals are freed from the trash left by those who are oblivious to the pain and suffering of the seals caught up in it..
Thank you ❣️

Gosh what a busy day. So many seals lives saved. Thank you all ❤❤❤
Every rescued seal is a testament to your dedication and compassion. Thank you so much, team!👏

Dziękuję, dziękuję, dziękuję. Za każdą uratowana 🦭dziękuję. ❤❤❤❤❤Pozdrawiam z Polski🇵🇱
God’s blessings the team for rescuing these poor animals
this video should be mandatory material to watch for anyonw working in off-shore and fishing as well as anyone applying for a fishing permit.
Я не знаю ,может это у вас работает уже так, но все рыболовецкие судна ,просто обязаны какой-то процент перечислять на спасение животных страдающих от их сетей и мусора
Парни просто супер молодцы 👍🏼👏🏼
И сколько километров пробегаете за один 🤷🏻🫣
@@Natalija2023it is not paying off their guilt for improperly disposing their waste. These people should learn about the consequences of their negligence.
@Natalija2023 That is crazy. The fishing vessels shouldn't have to donate to save these animals, they should keep their trash on board and dispose of it properly on shore. To stop the fishing vessels from dumping their trash, we can stop them from going out in the first place. Let's stop eating any kind of seafood or kril 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙
WHY? The crap in the ocean come from literal garbage being dumped in the ocean, and container ships losing containers..
@johnmcque4813 When you've watched these videos, you'll see most of these entanglements come from the fishing industry. That's why. But you are also right in saying there are more sources of trash out there. So it is up to all of us to change our behavior. We all can, you know 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙
And that's the state of our oceans. These creatures are always in danger of entaglement. I'm a teacher and everytime I need to talk about saving the environment, I show your videos in class. Thank you guys for your hard work. You Make a difference.
Your care for the seals is an inspiration to us all - there are so many thousand of these babies it takes your trmendous athleticism and group concentration to bag these helpless creatures - the needs of the fishermen forget about the disregard for the ocean lives that are at stake - I thank the team and those who would provide the equipment for your rescues ❤❤
We owe a debt to these great hunters and athletes with their saintly compassion.
Just pay back by putting us out of work 🙂
I remember this guy who calls it 'paying ocean tax'. I love that phrase. In his case, it means cleaning up the trash he encounters as he dives.
I think it could translate into cleaning up wherever you live on this beautiful earth 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙
👏 😁 🤟
It is a sad commentary on the fishing industry particularly but us all too that 34 seals needed you to rescue them in just one hour of one day. You must (and should) feel an especial sense of accomplishment and contentment knowing you made their survival possible. Thank you.
who needs the gym when you can rescue seals instead? I could never run like that on sand, amazing work you guys!
We actually train a lot to be able to rescue seals 🙂
@@OceanConservationNamibia I am constantly amazed at how fit you guys are; especially to rescue so many seals in just one hour and all with steady hands when cutting the stuff off them! No wonder you sat down at the end! Thank you!
@@OceanConservationNamibiaI can see why after watching this. You all are phenomenal!
Wow, what a bittersweet day! So many entangled, it's heartbreaking. Thank you for being their heroes.💕👍
So many indeed, it is never ending 😐

To ALL!!! PLEASE Donate Anything You Can To Save These Seals!!! We Love Our Seal HEROES!!! So Show it!!!❤❤❤❤❤
yes I agree!... how much money have you donated so far?
@clintyoung8073 I am not sure anyone has to say what they donate. If everyone just did something. It could be whatever you can. It can also be picking up trash in your local area, or make a petition, or research the fisheries you support and hold them accountable. 🌊🕊
@@LightworkBeacon Hey LWB~ Don't bother with LOW-IQ Libtards.... They ALWAYS Want Your $$$
I think his point is that she might be a hypocrite@@LightworkBeacon
Funny how the best way to support them doing this is by making it so they don’t have to do this. Donate and share so commercial fishing line isn’t so prevalent in our oceans everyone ❤
On rescue days like this one, it makes me wonder why rescue season starts out so slowly. We know the ghost fishing gear, the plastic, the rubbish and the bits of clothing are always out there, waiting to catch the unsuspecting seals. I'm grateful for your determination and speed, not to mention your stamina!❤
It has to do with the number of seals coming and going from the colonies. For a few months after breeding season, we scan pretty much the same cows and pups every day.
@@OceanConservationNamibiaIs there any concern that going in to the same area all the time will scare them off so that they find a ‘safer’ place to come out of the water, where you ‘predators’ don’t chase them?
I love how #19 just rolled out of the net! Thank you for saving them!
Like he was in combat 😂. Or auditioning for Circ de Sealeil.
😁
that roll was very artistic :D
34 in one day, you guys are just amazing! It's tragic that there is so much trash in our precious oceans. Money sent.
You guys are true hero’s. It is so sad that you had to rescue so many in one day. However, you gave every one of these seals a chance to live a normal life. Thanks for all your hard work.
👍
Following you since 2 years, 34 rescued in one day, humongous task. Excellent work done.... guys❤
Not only are you guys saving the lifes of these beautiful animals - but you're also saving them from such massive amounts of unnecessary pain and suffering. Great work!
Incredible work to undo a small bit of selfish, human stupidity. THANK YOU!
It’s sad to think that as many seals you save on this beach, how many others on other beaches do not have saviors as devoted as you guys to help them!
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.
Quite a saga of fishing line, plastic, and various human debris that does not belong in the ocean. Marine life deserves better, thank you Team OCN for saving them!
You earned a good night's sleep for this run. Wowsers...
Not sure if anyone else has noticed or if it's just my assumptions but the evidence, the proof, that OCN team are having a positive effect with all the effort. Hardly any [maybe 2] of the 34 seals captured had any severe cuts.....that's got to mean something
"Off you go! Other way, other way!" Thanks OCN.
Thank you my heroes for saving them ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼 and wishing you all a nice weekend 😊
I like the technique of twisting the net after the seal is well caught, like twisting the bread bag wrapper to keep anything escaping. 😁
🙂
34 is such a high number:(
Thank you for being Heroes!

You gentlemen are true heroes. Truly. Saving dozens of lives in one morning, Same amount of time it takes me to get out of my pajamas. I really have to step up my game. :-) Much much love to you all. Yep, heroes.
This is incredible to watch, yet also very sad to know that as many that were saved that day, there are so many more that continue to suffer because of our ignorance and selfishness.
Thank you for all that you do!!! 🙏
You must have felt so tired, proud and sad at the same time, at the end of that record breaking day. Thanks Naude, Antoine and Denzil, 34 🦭 saved in just 1 day, you're amazing!👏🥰
That was just in a morning, how many more were missed I wonder, I'm not having a go, I think you did amazing, but it's not a record that should be brocken, it's heartbreakingly sad. ❤😢 x
It really is. 32 in one morning was already depressing, 34 in 90 minutes is just mind-blowing.
WOW!!!!! A half hour of great rescues. You all earned your favorite refreshment after all those runs. Thank you for being there and that the Lord has put you where you can take care of his seals. ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊
And we all long for the days when it takes many months to get that half hour because there is so few of these beautiful creatures snarled in discarded fishing line, cargo bindings and other debris. 🙂👍
Well done on all those rescues! You all must have been exhausted!
Sad that all these seals would have had a slow agonising death if it wasn’t for OCN .
Thanks for the fantastic work you do. 🙂🏴
Very sad indeed.
You should all be able to be on a beech somewere resting and taking in the Sun, but because of the carless way plastic is disgarded you Heroes do this for wildlife. Thank You a Million times Over.
All of you are amazing. Thank you.. 🙏💙
👍
Anyone else love "I got this one Denzil keep going "😂xx
🙂
I'm amazed that there are so many entanglements, thank you for what you are doing.
Thank you for saving so many. I'm sure any you may have missed that day were spotted soon after.😊
34 Rescues in the morning!! WOW, WOW, WOW!!!! It's an honor to watch you, your crew and the dedication plus the stamina it takes to work tirelessly to save these beautiful creatures!! Thank you so much, not only for doing what you do, but for allowing all of us to watch you while you save them. Big HUGS and Praises to each of the Crew members!!! 🦭 🏖❤

3 in a net, plus that extra in the net, these seals manage to get entangled in the rescue nets just as easily as the snook lines!
What a HUGE episode, everyone should see this. Education for the whole family! 😄
Yes, please!

Obejrzałam z moją sześcioletnią wnuczką😁❤🇵🇱👋
Although I'm glad for the seals who were rescued and for OCN's continued dedication, it's very disturbing to know their rescues are just a drop in the bucket. Our oceans and waterways are full of our trash, the animals caused none of it and yet they suffer. Imagine if the air was full of visible pieces of plastic that could randomly choke you. Would humans then think it important enough to act ? Make laws, enforce them, recycle and find safe plastic alternatives?
It saddens me that so many people who are in a position to make a big difference are unwilling to do so. 😢
We have all the laws and regulations needed to prevent ocean pollution, but they are unfortunately only as good as their enforcement...
Antoine's apology to the second seal in the 2-for-1 netting was so sincere. I love it! 🤣🤣🤣
I was absolutely exhausted just watching this! If ever you earned a an ice cold beer at the end of this day!
All those seals who are just trying to make it to the water... But every so often (not today), one feels like it has to taste one of the humans... I'm glad the seals are not very aggressive. 😮
🙂👍
How rewarding for you to free so many poor seals in one day! Thank you!❤❤❤

Wow what a crazy morning for you guys! That was a lucky bunch of seals! Well done, Naude, Tony, and Denzil 👏👏👏
All sorts of entanglements on the pups, some are new, some have already caused damage, one gets loose and rolls off. The men are out of breath in most cases but when Antoine starts baby talk with the pups, the little creatures seem less tense. Beautiful work! I'm thankful for these pups and happy to support team OCN.
Saving The World One Seal at a Time. Outstanding Gentlemen!
Спасибо,это было круто,Вы подарили жизнь ещё 34 малышам спасибо❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing achievment 34 rescues.Exhausted but they keep going.Thank you for your dedication ❤
Amazing 🤩 accomplishment. But, oh so sad what we are doing to our oceans! 34 lives saved from entanglements stemming from human negligence. Thank you team OCN ❤❤❤
Благодарю вас за спасение животных ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏👏
👍
❤Team OCN!!!! Dang that was a marathon day for you guys. Thank you.!👍😎✊
This is surely a record, a sad one because it shows how bad the problem is, but a happy one for all these seals who have a second chance at living the kind of life they are supposed to. Thank you my OCN heroes.
Seal #19 exited with style! Great work everyone!!
🙂
A trick he probably learned under water.
Как же много животных страдает от людей. Спасибо вам за то , что делаете такое важное для всех нас, для нашей планеты, дело.
This day was amazing

How many? I had to read the number twice, what a brilliant video, shows how much trash is out there, great team work. Thankyou OCN. 🤗💝🏴

Hi all!
What a day! The guys gave it their all, but such an amazing result! Thank you, guys, for such dedication and dedication to the cause. And for those who threw garbage into the ocean and led a lot of sea creatures to a terrible death - they only have shame, and I hope that humanity will come to its senses.

Молодцы!!! С животными нужно быть осторожными! Они могут и пальцы откусить! Смотрю с большим удовольствием. Догнать, поймать, справиться с сильным котиком тоже нужна сила и ловкость! Большое Вам, друзья, уважение!!!
Holy crap. Insane. Nice job, guys. I hope you had some nice, cold beers that night. And I'm sure you slept like logs.
I get tired and breathless just watching you. So glad the number of subscribers is up; viewership must be up, too. Videos like this one really point out the magnitude of the problem with plastics in our waters. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.
Ребята смотрю о вас 1 год не знаю из какой вы страны ,но делаете благородное дело . Спасаете от мук этих котиков ,слышу ваше дыхание тяжелое и при этом отрезаете четко чем запутаны котики .

Ogni foca salvata sottolinea la mancanza di rispetto di uomini che danneggiano gli animali e tutti noi. TEAM OCN❤❤❤❤❤ grazie per tutti i SALVATAGGI.
i want to work with these amazing people
You can, every day. Reduce the amount of plastics you use. Ensure that what you have is disposed of properly. Advocate for a reduction of fish in people's diets. These and other actions you, I and everyone else can take will help reduce the load over time at the point where organisations such as OCN have to step in.
Have a lovely day.
@@LiamWakefield well, while your comment is trying to be helpful, i am already very aware of how i alone in my own life, can make a difference apart from actually chasing these lil guys.. and i do take care not to be part of the plastics problem; however, I did really actually mean exactly what i commented…that i want to do this actual work with these amazing people.. you have a great day too👍🏼☺️
@@lesleyM84 I'm glad you are already aware of things which can help. Hopefully, others will read here and get ideas of how to progress too. Wouldn't that be awesome, though, to work along side rescuers like the OCN team? 😁

Great job guys. Y’all do a wonderful job recusing these helpless seals from human waste.
THANK YOU FOR SAVING THESE DEAR SWEET ANIMALS OF EARTH..
So glad there was no serious gill nets or complicated hooks embedded in the mouth issues to deal with in this large collection of entanglements. All smooth captures. Great job guys and thanks for helping
The world is bless to have all of you in it! thank you for all you do for the Seals. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Some of these were so tight around them... i cant even image how painful and uncomfortable they were. Thank goodness for you guys!!! ❤❤❤
A really heart breaking record...
Baby seal number 27 (I think) was such in pain...
I know how hard work this is but I do think these longer videos are much more instructive than the short ones and gave you more strenght to show the plastic disaster we are creating and must solved.
It gave a really good idea of what you have to deal with:
- so much entanglements,
- working in team,
- nets' number and size restrictions combined with their weight,
- running full speed in sand in windy conditions, carrying heavy nets, being wet, through such huge distances, then stopping, sitting on your knees, focusing on not getting bite, then with almost no time off running again full speed,
- HUGE amount of seals running towards you with the risk of being bitten,
- post-production work to make those videos in order to sensibilise people again and again and again.
This is really such a dedicated and hard working job but also a heart breaking one.
Thus, once again, I want to say THANKS to OCN crew : Denzil, Antoine, Naudé, Katje and the new rescuers ! (also Wally, we miss you).
