Seal saved from ILLEGAL NET

- A seal rescue to remember: we reached our goal of #100SealsForTime!
In the month of May 2020, a team of committed activists from Ocean Conservation Namibia (OCN) got together and attempted to catch and disentangle 100 seals within one month from ocean rubbish and plastic pollution.
This medium sized female Cape Fur Seal was a worthy candidate for our one hundredth seal rescue. Her head was covered in a piece of gill net - an illegal fishing method in most countries in the world, including Namibia. She was not able to eat fish anymore, the net covered her mouth and she would have starved to death without our interference.
Naude and Antoine took about 15 minutes to slowly crawl towards the seal colony and then started a high speed chase. She slipped through Naude's fingers, but luckily Antoine had brought our seal catching net along.
It took about 10 minutes and a lot of strategic thinking to cut through all strands of the gill net. It was a huge reward to see her swim off into the sunset, and we got to celebrate the completion of our campaign.
Thank you all for watching and contributing to our work. We would not be able to do this without so much support for our fundraiser. WE MADE IT!
Of course we won't rest. tomorrow we will go out again and catch the next animal in need, until our work is no longer needed. 🦭

This world deserves more people like you!
Thank you but what about less people throwing their rubbish in the wild?
@@OceanConservationNamibia Yeah I agree, I meant that it's admirable what you do, people needs to be conscious of taking care of nature
This world deserves governments who don't dump their trash in the ocean.
@@OceanConservationNamibia Well said!!
Desperately.......
Wow, that’s 100 seals you saved from living uncomfortable and probably short lives. You guys are doing amazing work!🙏🏽
Yes! Thank you!
I read it as “Wow, that’s 100 seals you saved living uncomfortably and probably short lived. You guys are doing amazing! 🙏 “
@@drpencil7093 same xDDDD
Amazing
In ONLY 30 days mind you!!! Now that's extraordinarily amazing work!!!
"I got this crap around my neck and it's really starting to piss me off!"
"That sucks!! I know we all hate the lanky land bastards, but if you go to this one beach and let them chase you, they'll get it off."
:))
Cute!
"Lanky land bastards" LMAO!:-D
@@mace8873 I'm going to use that to describe me
@@beanboxd5526 Up here in the Danish spearfishing community, the slang for seal is "blubber torpedo".:-)
Thank you for helping them. SEAL ANGELS! 🙏🏻
Our pleasure!
“nice one guys” 😊
Thank you very much.
@Neo Papa It pays off every time they free a seal.
Nyurie Isbal that was so epic
Wow I was the 1,000th like
Yeah, how sweet, they looked up too, the guys, like , hah? Right on little man ! Kids say what we say , how cute !
Instead of hunting for sport people should do this, whoever frees the most seals wins! :)
There is nothing like leaving a natural ecosystem in a better state than you found it when you came.
@@OceanConservationNamibia sadly way too many humans can do that only in their own funeral, all this trash is littered by 'out of sight, out of mind' type of people
@@OceanConservationNamibia Ideally that is the case with hunting also.
This is actually kind of an interesting concept. I wonder if hunters could be recruited and converted to doing this more often. This has a similar rush of emotions, from the initial tracking and locating your target to the hunt, movement, chase, and "capture". The biggest difference is that your quarry goes free at the end of it instead of ending up as dinner.
Would be interesting if you could convince hunters to be hunter-savers.
@@PodofGold In at least the US, most hunting done is actually a form of animal control of animals that have become over-populated pests. In my area it's deer. And where I live there's been a lot of fishing events that have popped up in recent years to help cull invasive species that plague our nearby rivers (asian carp). So there is some hunting/fishing out there that does the ecosystem good and I imagine there's nuisance animals like these everywhere.
While everyone is staying home, being bored of the quarantine, you guys saving these beautiful creatures, actually saving the planet
We just have to, we cannot simply look away.
"Congratulations guys on your 100th seal rescue"
you never disappoint only amaze me on this channel with all your rescues. Thank you for all you hard work and the commitment that you put into saving these seals.
you guys are the best well done.
100 in one month, right?
Как здорово, что рядом с ВАМИ дети!!! Значит ДОБРОТА и ЛЮБОВЬ бесконечные!!!
Incredible work you're doing! Kudos to your whole team! Love the footage, crystal clear, great angles to see what's happening, up close and personal with the seal. Keep going!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you all for showing how singular actions make a HUGE difference. The relief and joy we feel watching a release is massive, so I can only imagine how you guys feel! Thanks for what you are doing from Virginia!
Our pleasure!
Thank you so much for your dedications in saving these seals and for showing these videos to bring all your viewers the awareness of the problems that these innocent seals are facing.
It's my pleasure
❤️❤️❤️ letting a kid be part of this. Hopefully new generation of rescuers are born.
Oh, they are!
Congratulations, thank you for helping these animals. 💜
Our pleasure!
OMG, you guys are everyday heroes!!!!! Thank you for what you do to our vulnerable!
Thank you very much!
Огромная благодарность за ваш труд !!! Да Благословит вас Господь Бог !!!
Большое спасибо!
The noises sound like when you stand in the middle of a cow and sheep farm in minecraft
but this is not a game!!...and these "players" cant choice....
@@Knebebelmeyer Wow thanks captain obvious!
They do sound like sheep, sometimes humans too!
namib_naude i can’t imagine one day you’re going to you’re going outside and one of the human is like *[seal sounds]*
Or a real farm!!
I’m sorry but it’s funny af to see all these seals running simultaneously
Shit! Its the hoomans
They're so cute
Sooo cute!
My whole gratefulness is with you!
👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
I gave you a standing ovation at the end of the video. You couldn't see it, but be sure, I did it!
And I am sure: this rescued seal knew what you did to her! Much love to you and your amazing team and family! Warm greetings from Austria to Namibia ❤️❤️❤️🇦🇹
Thank you. It was a very special rescue for #100. She almost got away, luckily Tony brought the net along.
@@OceanConservationNamibia Yeah, Tony was quite fast ;-)
Thankyou on behalf of the seals my friend. If I could hug you all, I would because I'm sure the seals wish that too
You are welcome!
These guys have " sealed " my heart.
Pleasure!
I love watching you rescue seals, makes my day better knowing there is amazing people like you out there
Thank you very much!
This is amazing, you guys are all doing tremendous work!
Thanks you very much!
You do brilliant work guys, well done. 100 seals rescued, I guess you could call that 'signed Sealed and delivered'
Hahaha, for sure!
Amazing what you guys do!! Keep it up! We need more people like you in the world!! Great job!
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you for the hard work you’ve put into these rescues...
Our pleasure!
Congratulations on hitting 100, thank you for your hard work
Thank you very much! We were not sure if we can make it, now we are super proud of the team.
Как жалко животных! Спасибо что спасаете!
Добро пожаловать
Спасибо. Вы делаете хорошее дело.
Добро пожаловать.
Бесконечные слова благодарности за то что вы делаете🙏🙏🙏
ИЗ РОССИИ С ЛЮБОВЬЮ❤❤❤
Congratulations! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK. ❤🌟
Our pleasure!
Congratulations I cant believe you did it so fast. I remember the first 3 and now your here. Amazing work. This time next year it will be exciting to know where you've reached. 100 seals has proved anything is posible. x
Thank you so much!
It’s great to see people who care about these amazing animals and want to help them keep up the work guys
We will, thanks!
I just found your channel today. I've been binge watching all your videos! Great job and thank you for your good work! It was amazing to see how many animals you guys helped save. I'll be sure to share your channel with my family :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow! Without you guys that seal probably would have starved since he could barely open his mouth. Thank you guys so much!
She could not eat and would have starved to death for sure.
I live in LA so this was a nice thing to see today :) *
*There are riots happening right now
Lots happening in the States at the moment, we have seen the footage. Hope everybody is safe.
Yup, unfortunately
Enr1218 Rrm Why is it unfortunate?
@@koiko.k4801 Unfortunately as in it's unfortunate that many riots are happening.
Hope you are safe, these riots are horrible.
This makes me happy seeing people save seals lives I thank you people for saving the seals I love seals so much
You are welcome!
Winning hearts and minds 💜 junior heros in training too! 💜 Thank you for saving these animal from a slow torturous death 💜
Our pleasure!
Whats even more sad is I dont want to know how much of this stuff is also inside their body maybe ... Thanks to all of you for doing this
It was full in her mouth so she may have eaten some to try to get rid of it...
I'm happy to see this happening. Something inside me wants to come there and cut these lines too... Beautiful!
Thank you!
Какие ребята молодцы, низкий вам поклон и респект.... 👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Большое спасибо!
I didn’t know Captain Price saved seals in his spare time.
😂
he also saves the navy seals here and then 😂
:)
He did complete his mission (kill makarov). Now he spending his time to help seals.
You made my day better, it's so nice seeing what you guys do, thank you 💕
Our pleasure!
brings me to great tears. i've watched them all.
what a sincere blessing to witness during this extremely sad and tumultuous time (or any time!!).
you bring deep love, passion and action to life and to the hearts of all
Thank you so much. We will continue for as long as our work is (sadly) needed.
UA-cam recommended this. For once they hit the bullseye. Subbed
Thank you so much for what you do. Blessings.
Thanks for the sub! We were wondering where all the new views are coming from. Thank you.
@@OceanConservationNamibia You guys are awesome. Would love one day see the Skeleton Coast. S'on my bucket list. Seal rehabilitator in Ireland. Will rrcommend yis.
@@OceanConservationNamibia UA-cam algorithm has found you. Subbed today at 10.2k and a couple of hours later subs have nearly hit 12k. Just wanted to say, the videos and the rescues are really inspirational, congratulations on the channel success.
@@OceanConservationNamibia as far as i know, the algorithm values user interaction. I like every video and sometimes I comment. That costs nothing and gives visibiliry to the channel. I have also donated a few bucks.
Congratulations!! So proud of all of you!
Thank you. We are very, very grateful the campaign went so well.
Gentlemen... you are a gift from Heaven to the world. From my heart, I thank you for your beautiful selfless acts of tender mercy.💕🙏💕
Your love for Gods creatures makes me cry with gratitude for you.
Thank you very much!
I legitimately clapped just then. Congratulations on 100 seals. You're doing great work.
I still want to interview you too! (I know, I'm annoying)
What social media is it best to contact you through to arrange an interview?
Go for it! Any time! Send us an email info@ocnamibia.org
Did you interview them? Did you make the interview public?
@@marshwetland3808 haven't interviewed them yet because I am kinda shy to email them
OK, I've just emailed them (thank you for the kick up the butt).
My channel is called Nervardia if you want to keep an ear to the ground.
@@meredithnavin1358 Great - have fun with your interview!
You two deserve a medal for outstanding work! Thank-you on behalf of the seals. ❤❤❤
Wow humanity ruined many animals even these cute ones
People care so little about their rubbish, it is horrible.
You are aware the rescuers are human, too?
So it's ok to ruin ugly animals lives ?
Idk it's how your sentence could be turned
@@nunoc7460 Isn't Society made to assemble Humanity into efficient groups ?
@@OceanConservationNamibia People won't ever consider stopping eating fish?
thank you so much for helping these seals
you all are the best
Our pleasure!
Do you think that having an anti bacterial ointment or spray to put on the open wounds would be beneficial to the animals?
It would be expensive. But I would donate if you think it would help. I work in a pharmacy and know how important anti bacterial medication is to exposed wounds.
Good question. We have a few specialized Vets in our extended team, we often double check our actions with them and ask for advise. We will bring it up. At this stage, we mainly rely on the salt water to do the trick. We have seen many of our old rescues at the beach, they seem to be healing nicely, but we do not know if all of them make it.
In the long run, we are hoping to start a proper seal rehab center.
In theory it sounds like a good idea but I think that it would wash off rather quickly in the ocean. You should develop one that adheres and could be cut into the specific shape of the wound. Something like a glue trap with the antibacterial medicine already integrated and designed to fall off in a day or two.
@@OceanConservationNamibia I know they use an anti-bacterial spray for when ever a snare entangles elephants.
Would most likely need specific medicines that are expensive and hard to come by, topical creams/ointments would probably wash off, some sort of injection would probably prove itself to be more benefecial, but my thought process was that these animals usually have tough immune systems and as the rescuer said, the salt water probably helps to heal too.
@@OceanConservationNamibia is there any way to create an united nation association on a large scale to do the work you did but on a longer term?
Imagine if the seals come to the beach, and they come to you directly with a fishnet like this, without fear, only to know that we could help them
Oh Cheers for you all.🎉 Huge hug and a Pat for lil one .❤️❤️...Love you all loads of Blessings ❣️
That was beautiful! This is exactly what kids should be seeing. Righteous compassion!
Wow, thank you!
I think what you do is very nice - You're helping the seals, both by getting them unstuck from all this garbage, and by teaching them to be cautious of humans. Looks like it'd be a great time for the kids as well!
Thanks 👍 We like to show the kids what we are doing. They need to be the next generation of activists!
Дай Бог вам здоровья,ребятки!!!!
Спасибо
I am in awe of the work you guys do, you are a credit to the world on saving these amazing creatures
Thanks a lot!
You’re amazing doing God’s work through your hands. May He bring you all the seals who need your help and let none be lost. Please dear Lord.
Thank you very much!
Dylan's "woo hoo" when the seal reached the water says it all. That entanglement was seriously impeding this seal so thank goodness you got to her so quickly.
I always thought the ships were Cargo ships but from Naude's comments I take it they are All commercial fishing vessels! That is outrageous.
This is a particularly joyful moment for a successful campaign, a great rescue and one really happy seal!
Absolutely!
I have big respect for what you guys do! Just amazing. Really!
Thanks, we appreciate!
Imagine the immense relief of being able to breathe, move your head, see and eventually eat without all that crap wrapped around your neck and face. Man, poor seal, I'm not surprised it stayed calm while you were working on it.
Exactly, nothing to add!
Congrats on 100 rescues. We really need to have a hard look at our stupidity of using the ocean as a dumping ground. You do a wonderful job saving these puppies. God bless.
100 in a month, right? It is just terrible. Be the change! Ban single use plastic and seafood from your life and be an example for others!
How many bites have you guys endured trying to save these seals? Much respect to you guys for doing this. Love and respect from Canada.
A few bit nothing too serious so far.
Just came across this channel, what you do is truly amazing keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! Thank you for supporting us.
I watch the rescues every week. Angels on Earth are the people that take the time to save a hurt animal!
I love how these guys soothe the animals as they tirelessly free the seals! We should all be as compassionate as they are! God bless!
Thank you so much. All the support from our followers makes this a global effort!
Having kids anticipate this activity, it is quite meaningful. 👏
Im going to start playing your videos while i sleep to help boost your views and potentially ad revenue. More people need to know about this happening
Thanks SO much!
Well done and thank you 🙏
Our pleasure!
It breaks my heart to think that this is just a fraction of the seals worldwide that are entangled, as well as other animals. We have to take greater action like these wonderful people to make this world safe for all animals.
Bless you!
Yes, please!!!
I love what you guys are doing, those precious animals shoudnt be in that state, you are the real heroes
Thank you very much!
Great work and thank you for dedicating time to helping these animals they definitely need it.
Our pleasure!
Nice to see that even with all these bad things happening in the world there are still people who care enough to take action
Let's be the change we want to see!
This seal was so calm when you were getting the net out of her mouth. They often look like they realise you're helping them.
Of course they do!
Getting the next generation involved...nice work guys.
Thanks!
I honestly think u guys need more love💕💖🥺
Thank you!
Congratulations guys, it's really amazing what you are doing, keep going!!! Hello from 🇧🇷
Thank you very much!
Just when I think humans are a hopeless pool of greed, ignorance and hate, I see folks like you and remember that perhaps there is something good and compassionate in us too. Thanks for bringing light to this sad old world.
Thank you all for the work you so tirelessly do. You are those seals guardian angels. ❤
really love seeing people who are doing their part of helping the animals we endanger keep it up mate
Thank you, we will do that. We love what we do.
Found a new favorite channel... watched about 15-20 vids in a row, LOL
Keep going, more to come! Thanks!
Appreciable work.. fortunate to have people like you around the globe who believe in saving these species. real act of humanity.
Thank you very much!
WOW!!! Did you see her head when she first took off...the little 'I'm so happy!' move she did...nothing touches me as deeply as animals.
:)
Wow you guys are amazing! Brought tears to my eyes.
Thanks, we appreciate!
guys, you’re doing an amazing work! congratulations, you deserve the best💫
Thank you so much!!

This video reminds me of the marine animals found with garbage in their stomach that later took it's life. Such a horrible thing to experience. You're message helps them all. Thank you
Thank you
exceptional work.
I subscribed recently and have spent hours watching your videos, I think some of the more complex rescue videos could be published as an extended version. I know why many videos are published as short clips however during this global pandemic many of us have additional free time and your videos are so inspiring that I know I would enjoy watching longer versions.
This crime against these sea creatures has got to stop. Bless your family for the love you show. Hello from the USA.
You are right! Thank you
Congratulations and a HUGE thank you for taking care of these innocent animals that suffer because of humanity's errors.
Our pleasure!
When the water hits the spots that been netted around them, must feel so relieving. Like a pair of handcuffs way too tight.
Indeed!

I hope that's not personal experience speaking lol
J T by virtue of the fact that I stated I’m law abiding your comment doesn’t make sense

So much love for animals and every single person working to help them! Thank you so much!! 😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰
It's comforting to see you bring the little guy along. New generation needs to learn simple kindness and humanity. My own (I was born in 1967) seems to have forgotten the basics.
