Naude, you're not getting enough credit for being the founder of this conservation project and getting others on board including teaching his wife and children. Such a kind, caring man out in the middle of no mans land. Funds are scarce because of the isolation in this area. This is a legitimate cause that's in need of financial help. I'm sure they would like to build a hospital for some these sea creatures,( not only seals,) which unfortunately have to be let back to the wild despite horrendous wounds. Times are tough all over the world,but it's our duty to protect and save all our God given creatures.
With regard to an animal hospital, Naude has repeatedly said it’s far better for the seals to heal naturally in the sea than in “captivity”. Plus the financial outlay is not worth it, with the money being far better utilised doing rescues the way they are currently done.
I love that Tony tells the seal with the terrible strangulation that he promises he is going to make it. On many levels, we are connected with nature and these creatures, and I believe they understand on their level that hope for healing. Beautiful and very moving
Oh my goodness, 5 more wonderful rescues. The poor little pup with the bad infection got a nice little head rub and a sweet send off. I just know he was so grateful! As always, you guys are incredible! Thank you again for what you do! 🦭💙🦭
Cried a bit to see that one so entangled, free now. The group has developed an incredible skill, to get so many freed in one go. Tragic that there are so many entanglements. I wish there was a team like this on every beach in the world.
Makes me wonder if there's a difference in behaviour between groups in each colony. Could it be time of day. Just after a tiring hunt or "play" in the water. Before or after sleep. When is the optimal time to run into each group, or is it all just stochastic noise and any perceived effect is due to confirmation bias and imperfect memory?
Looking for one, and then saving five. I'd say this was a successfull mission. That one didn't have much time left, so THANK YOU Team OCN for saving such a large amount of "Chunks" this morning!
Dear team OCN... with every video my respect and love for you all grows. Such dedication out there on that beach. Where Angels fear to tread..... ❤❤❤❤❤. Thank you.
Those poor animals would not have made it without your intervention. Thank you for your skill and dedication. I'll bet that first dive into the ocean after losing the entanglement feels about the best thing in the world.
😞It seems the situation is just getting worse and worse, as the two of you found 5 entangled seals within 2 minutes at Pelican Point, the area you patrol so frequently. Thanks guys, hopefully these 5 now have a long life ahead!💕🦭
Naude did indeed start this whole rescue squad. Antoine was already in Green Peace whose goal is to stop illegal fishing. When he joined Naude there was just Naude and his wife, Kat. It has now grown into more and more people and they sometimes train rescuers from other countries. It keeps expanding wider and wider. This is such a great legacy for Naude. It proves that one person can make a gigantic difference in this world. God bless you Naude.
Thank you for your kind words! While we’re deeply committed to helping the seals, we know our work is just a small part of a much bigger battle. Our rescues highlight the urgent need to address the root causes of ocean pollution-like our reliance on single-use plastics and the gaps in law enforcement and recycling efforts. By sharing these stories, we hope to inspire real change that goes beyond treating the symptoms and starts tackling the problem at its source.
Thanks everyone involved with getting the word out about fishing line and what its doing to wildlife. All fishing line today should be biodegradable. There's so much of that crap that ends up in streams, lakes, rivers, and ultimately the ocean killing wildlife. The same goes towards nets that commercial fishermen use. They lose a net and its just business as usual while the net floats around strangling wildlife or getting caught up in boat props stranding boaters in the open ocean. Nets should be tagged and inventoried for commercial fishermen...period. If they want to make a living they need to keep the ocean clean.
I cried throughout that clip. I cried for these 2 amazing human beings and the relentless job they carry out. And of course l cried for all those furry angels that end up suffering. 😢😢😢😢😢
My God, this could be unimaginable because as the animal grows and grows, the cables tied around its body tighten and the chances of suffocating increase.

it's terrible that much garbage gets put into the oceans every hour, every day. it's inexcusable what's constantly being allowed. you've been calling attention to the problem for a very long time, but the people that can put an end to it, don't care in the least🤬🤬🤬 Thanks for the beautiful seals you rescued today, and the ones with injuries, i hope they heal very fast. great work guys, you're the best👍👍
Wow quite a few rambunctious ones. Fantastic job guys. We are very thankful for you. God chose his angels well to protect those who can't help themselves. Stay safe always OCN

Oh heavens above! All the seals had so many entanglements around them 😢. Thank goodness for Antoine and Naude. It's amazing how Antoine and Naude can rescue so many seals in one herd. I appreciate all the seal rescues you do. 🦭🦭
It helps to visualize the tissue granulating and knitting back together; otherwise, these videos can be very hard to watch. That deep garroting had to be massively painful, yet the seal had patience for the rescue. FIVE seals: amazing rescues. 💜💜💜
Eine ganz tolle Sache. Gott Lob gibt es Menschen die diesen wunderbaren Tiere helfen. Ich sehe die Sendung sehr gerne, macht mir aber oft das Herz sehr schwer für diese wunderbaren Tiere😢😢😢😢
I strongly suspect you're all angels down here masquerading as mere humans. God bless and strengthen and reward you for the work you do. I'm really proud of you.
Thank you so much OCN for this amazing bunch of rescues! The ships captain should instruct the crew & guests not to toss stuff over the side of the boat/s ❤❤❤❤ from me in PE
Oh , it is a pleasure to see you say these seals. I really hope the little one with the infection will be much better soon. Your team is like a well-oiled machine.You work together so well. You can make the job look easy when it isn't. Thank you for your hard work, and God bless you.
Well, thankfully? The only "fish" I eat comes in a yellow box with Mrs Gordons' on it. I live in the USA but I do like shrimp... Always a video of A's greatest quips would be amazing! something about his accent and how he talks to the pups is just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
these creatures are so graceful in water, but clumsy on land. I think they are playful when they see debris in the water they naturally want to play with it.
wow. you guys are definitely the heroes on the planet. No questions asked. great job & keep it up! you cannot go wrong at all with this type of work & help to earth's life! Live long & prosper
It looked like some east weather from the sand in the sky in the background. I wonder does this provide more items blown in and entanglements to the seals during these weather conditions? Naude and Tony were doing the rescues of 4 with just the two of them working. Unbelievable Great job! Well done gentlemen! 🦭🌊💙
@@Kokeil39 Yes, I certainly went down a rabbit hole to find information about Namibia after I started following the OCN team. I even have Walvis Bay on my Weather app to check out daily conditions for the team. 🙄. I give them a daily thought for them to have a safe and productive day for the work that they do.
@EllenSchneider-tn1pu The amount of stuff I now know about Walvis Bay, etc from replying to comments on here is silly😂. I feel as if I should now book a week in Namibia to make use of it. 😊
It worries me to see you indicate that ending fishing is the answer. That's not likely to happen, since people's livelihoods are at stake, so it could be more effective to work with the industry to end net and line dumping -- you know, make them out to be the heroes when they make the (trivial) effort to bring their stuff to shore before throwing it away. You guys are the real heroes, though, of course. You're fixing some of the harm people are doing to the planet, and saving these adorable slug-dachhshunds from certain death. Love to see every one of these vids!
You are an amazing team. Love the way you ALL talk to the seals and you listen to them too. Remember how loved you and all of these creatures are. Watching, liking and subscribing is what we are doing on our part and those of us who can are hitting the DONATE button at the top of the chat BUT even more important…we are learning from you what we can do in our day to day lives to help keep waste to a minimum and to keep it away from wildlife. Be safe. Give my love to the creatures you serve and let them know we are doing what we can to help.

Amazing how Naude spotted the fifth severity entangled pup, as he is in middle of freeing another! So grateful for OCN!

Thank God the saltwater will disinfect the wound!
Amazing how you can see seals needing help among so many- and how you can catch them. No need to go to the gym! Thank you all ❤
Thank you for your kind words!
This is a skill we wish we never had to develop, but we are unfortunately very experienced by now.
I love listening to Antoine talking to these pups. Amazing rescues done by the entire team.

Hello 👋🏼😊🌸
Hi all. Enjoy the rest of the weekend😊
Ouch, that second last pup must've felt so much relief. That was so tight. Poor little guy.
Good Job guys. Please keep it up.
Thank you for saving all those seals! You all do such good work. ❤❤❤
👍
Thank you my heroes for saving him ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼 and wishing you all a nice weekend 😊
Ford would have been proud. This is a well run seal-saving production line. Kudos to all of you, running on the beach or doing office works.
I'm crying. Poor little seal so tightly entangled 😢 All of them have a new life ahead.
God Bless OCN❤
