Three seals Rescued in Cape Cross Parking Lot

- In this rescue, the OCN team came across 2 entangled seal pups right next to the walkway and parking lot of Cape Cross, one of the largest seal colonies in the world. They prioritised the first one, and went after after him with their specially built net. They were hoping that while they were busy, Likius would keep an eye out on the second one.
As soon as they were done with number 1, they took a little while to spot the second one. As they started running for him, Denzil noticed a third and went of to grab him, while Naude and Francois attended number 2.
Once done with number 2, they could help the third one who had a particularly bad cut around his neck and chest. All three of these pups were entangled in discarded recreational fishing line. Sadly right now there is no viable alternative to this type of fishing line.... 🦭

I lost my dad yesterday. He taught my brother, sister, and myself how to love nature. He taught us that we were also part of nature and that we had to be the caretakers of it. He told us it was an obligation we had because we were on the top of the chart. I so wanted to show him your TH-cam channel but I couldn't get it in the hospital. He loved watching people studying & discovering new aspects to life here on the 3rd Rock. He loved watching the NOAA ship Okeanos and their mission to find new life.... Evidently, I've learned to love nature like he did. Thank you for your work.
I'm sorry for your loss 😢 he is your guardian angel now. Watching over you and your family 😇
I am so sorry for your loss! I am glad he taught you well!
Glowing tribute❤
Respect.
Steven Horne: 💐 If you ever want to show a video outside of wifi range, ask a friend or relative or someone to play it on their digital device, or you play it on your computer screen AND use your smartphone camera video function to make 1 temporary copy. Then after you have shown it you can delete it. That serves the same function as using the 'Share' capacity to send it to someone. They still get the distribution credit.
You would have thought of that except your grief was in control.
Rest assured that your father was aware that there really are good conservationists in the world. He knew in general if not specifically.
You might appreciate watching the TED Talk 'How to Green the World's Deserts' in his honor. It is 19 minutes. Africa asserts that it has found the solution to global warming. That video explains.
Your father probably would have appreciated that one, also.
You now represent his values in the world. May you live long and thrive and magnify his values in the world.💐
The first one turned out to be a complicated operation! It is so horrible that those thin lines can cut such deep wounds, like with the second and third pups. The seals don't seem as frightened and wary of humans in this area, perhaps because people are often strolling upon the boardwalk…? A GREAT day's work for you heroes!
I have made sure that EVERYONE I KNOW who goes to the beach, fishes or owns a boat sees what it is you guys are doing. Many have said they had no idea that such a small piece of line could spell certain death for a seal. They have all promised to be more careful with all types of line, tape, plastics etc. around the water. Everyone can help to get the word out!
GOD will reward u ...Amen..
Good job, man! That's one prong of OCN's education/awareness program!
The worst part is that fishermen hate seals...or any sea life that the ppl think of as 'stealing' fish from them.
In Oregon (USA) they passed a law to be able to shoot seals.
These are people making money by emptying the oceans of food, even to the extent of breaking the link of the food chain in the ocean.
I live in a town off the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the state of Washington.
When I moved here in 2003 there was a resident harbor seal, and several cormorants.
They have all disappeared.
There is an orca pod that is indigenous to my area...the pod has been reduced to the point where they will not recover.
When the last of them dies it will be the end of our pod.
Recently I saw a video where Orca became aggressive toward a boat.
Very unusual behavior and as they starve we will have more of it.
@@Livefreeordie-182 - OMG, that is terrible! That is like shooting the lady in front of you at the store to make sure there is enough food for you! Sadly, many of the animal disappearances are due to food chains being destroyed by Fukushima Radioactivity as well as human stupidity. CNN, ABC and ABC-AU al pretended to be inside Reactor Building 4 using Green Screen Video AFTER is blew up just to kie4ep people ignorant.
@@rblibityes...Fukushima devastated the ocean life.
You know what I noticed?
Tuna travel very far and very fast so they get the highest levels of ocean contaminates and fukushima detritus.
A few years after fukushima three new canned catfood manufacturers came out...all with tuna based canned food for cats.
That's all they make.
Not a natural food for cats (fish inhibits thiamin absorption in cats) and seems to me like tuna must've gotten cheaper so it's like they're disposing of toxic waste by putting in cat food...and making money doing it.
Yeah I dont watch mainstream news anymore.
It's an insult to intelligence.
I love the ocean...the oil spill we had in the gulf stream (BP oil) made me look at things differently, you know?
Thank you Naude, Denzil and Likius for saving those three cute puppies ❤️ I hope they recover fast from the deep cuts 😢
I hope so too
@@OceanConservationNamibia I don't even understand HOW can see the thin line around them from a distance! Especially when it's a sea of seals. I only just started watching these vids the day before yesterday and I'm seriously committed! I love that you do this, but it's so sad that it seems like a full time gig. I wonder how often that this needs to be done. Every day? Once a week? It seems endless. The things you find.. shirts, bandages, packaging tape, soccer net - shocking and so sad. Now with covid the plastic waste is so excessive it breaks my heart. Thanks to these individuals for making a difference.
@@imamachineok They oftentimes do not see the lines, they see the fur being pressed down along a line. that and of course the countless times where seals have to carry entire nets with them that are big enough to spot even with the naked eye from a distance.
oh and of course they use binoculars to look at the colonies to make out the individuals that need help
These videos should be required viewing for everyone who wants to get a fishing license.
Looks like you have some new bite resistant gear on your forearms. I’m glad to see this. There are way to many seals that need you and not enough of you that the seals need. Stay safe and keep helping these seals.
The first one was surprisingly calm especially when you got a little handsy with her flippers
What deep wounds! It's horrible 😔 Thank you 🙌 Greetings from Spain 🇪🇸
Hello Spain! Thank you for watching.
I think the second one had to regain some face in front of his buddies by charging the humans who took him down hahaha🤣 awesome job finding all three of them, wish you didnt find any at all but great work you do!!☺️🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙 LONG LIVE THE COLONY!!
Thank you OCN for sharing this incredible work you do!
Love that you never tire of helping these precious animals. You'd always so gentle and kind
It is 2020 but if Naude says "it is okay", I will believe him
Same
😀😀👍
Are you one of the seals?
I love how patient you guys always are when the seals are being less than cooperative
Keep up the great work! I’m watching you all from Kansas, USA. I’m so Amazed!
Yeah, they never take it personally and find the humor in it
Thank you ANGELS.
You are real HEROES by tirelessly day and night saving the lives of these creatures and freeing them fom such terrible and painful wounds.
Those were some horrible cuts. Glad you guys are on the job. Good job boys!
Thanks guys great job as always!!!poor seals 2 of them were bad cuts😢that fishing line causes dreadful injuries,respect for all you do to help them awesome👏
I hate hearing Naude go, "Awe maaan!" because it usually means the line has cut deep D= Good job guys! Keep it up!
OH man
poor baby seals, with the deep cuts into their skin!! so sorry for them, but happy u found them & freed them again!!
Мы любим вас,пусть Аллах в тысячу раз вознаградит за ваш труд!
Thank you once again for what you are doing. I can’t imagine the suffering these beautiful creatures would have to endure without your help.
Each casual rescue makes such a difference for those poor seals, such good work and so heartening to see.
The 2nd pup was very angry or he might be trying to save his image before his girlfriend 👊. Great work as always 🙏.
You would be snappy too if you had something causing such a painful injury you couldn't correct.
@@carguy4658 No Doubt.😞 These poor seals are in pain bcz of human mistakes.
I love watching these everyday it really makes my day!
(Even though they struggle to open the net every time and it’s frustrating to not see it open smoothly. But I guess it’s a security to avoid weak zippers and the seals not breaking out of it.)
Our new nets are already in Namibia, we are just waiting for customs to be done :-)
@@OceanConservationNamibia Oh so Nice!! Can’t wait to see them in the next videos!!
@@OceanConservationNamibia Good. I really wanted that for you guys.
@@OceanConservationNamibia that’s great to hear!
You guys make a difference everyday! Thank you for what you do.
The sounds they make are so cute! But when they are angry it sounds like little roars.. :)
I swear those cute sounds inspired the pig noises in Angry Birds.
They sound like sheep mixed with some bear or something lol
@@kerielwatson3197 considering that bears and canines are among their closest relatives...
Oh my goodness! The family and friends stay observing from a distance, when she is released running to the beach, they run after her!!! Wow!!! ❤️
Your camera 📸 results are really awesome. 👍👏 from Karachi Pakistan 🇵🇰.
Thank you to Karachi! Thank you for watching.
Just love what you guys do. Makes me wonder how our seals in Australia are travelling. Plan to check it out on my camping trip I'm leaving for in a few days.
Спасибо! Вы Ангелы спасители!!! Люди загрязняют моря и океаны....может ваше видео остановит хоть одного безумца,вызовет сострадание,посеет добро!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
It is impossible to recover ALL snagged lines when shore fishing but I go back at low water and recover as much as i can find and not just my own. I burn all waste fishing line so I know then it will do no harm.
👋🌟🎉 Don't forget to WATCH THE ADS! This is a simple way to help our favorite seal rescue team! 🤩🎉👍
I heard that even by pressing skip, it still counts and helps the TH-cam. Of course Full view is better pay.
@@strain121 I'm not certain if this is true. There are conflicting opinions about this. I found this answer online on alanspicer.com from June 2020:
"We’re going to get into this subject in-depth, but do TH-camrs get paid if you skip ads? Short answer is, no. However, the answer isn’t as clear cut as we might have liked. Generally speaking, no, TH-camrs don’t get paid for skipped ads. However, there are situations in which a skipped ad will still result in some earnings for the TH-camr."
Here is the direct link to this article:
alanspicer.com/do-youtubers-get-paid-if-you-skip-ads/
@@strain121 Therefore I'm being cautious and watching the ads anyway. If it'll help OCN I don't mind sitting through them and clicking the ads. ☺️🌟💖
Someone said he was a former ad executive and skipping the ads still gave them revenue. However I don't know this person's credentials or what type of ad executive he may have been. The article I found online goes into depth about the ad process and he has lots of videos, articles, and his own TH-cam channel explaining the ad mechanism so I tend to believe that more. Just a thought!
@Homelander thanks I do
Their lining up for service. All the seals you helped spread the word about your kindness. 🥴♥️🙏🏼❤️. It is amazing how gentle and calm some seals are after you all get the line off of them.
Пару слов в поддержку спасения животных
Great hat trick. It breaks my heart to see those horrible wounds created by the thoughtless actions of fishermen. Thank You that you do what you do so well.
Lessons, how eating fish is not harmless. How it rips sea animals apart when they are growing.
Seeing those wounds is heart wrenching. I can’t imagine having them.
Still daily dose of good. You guys are the best.
What agility and strength of mind and body, determination and focused purpose. No words can really describe your effort for and kindness to these beautiful creatures. Thanks OCN team.
Thank you so much 😀
Great video as always guys, love watching these videos knowing that you've helped some beautiful seals. Such a shame this keeps happening to them, i hope the more people see these they will start to think about what gets thrown in rivers and seas!
How incredibly calm was that first one?? And so well spotted for the further hidden line. I felt so bad for the other two, such horrible injuries all because of the dreadful type fishing line used 😪 Thank you so much for what you do guys 😊
It makes me feel so sad every time I see these deep cut wounds, made by these this materials...there must be tons of them in the ocean!...;-( It sometimes seems like fighting a never ending fight..and I am so, so grateful for every single one of these creatures you saved and you helped! Thank you again for your work!
Thanks so much for all your hard work...it really pays off ! I never had any idea how often seals and other animals are wounded or die in fishing line or nets etc...it has been a real eye opener...hugs from Canada !
You guys never disappoint great work!
Feisty little thing the second one is
Yoda?
Right?!?
Its so funny seeing the small ones act tough. Really sad to see such a terrible wound on them though. We can't thank you guys enough for what you do.
The seals be like oh no here we go again
😂
I saw your email about the amount of dead Pups this season. Sorry to hear. You are doing gods work Man.
Climate change and plastic waste are messing up the seas, we have to make massive changes now or suffer the consequences soon enough. Sacrifices must be made
@@jamesmcivor340 Climate change does nothing to these seals. It's all of the plastic waste and overfishing.
Thank you guys
You guys always make it look so easy, keep up your great work!👏👏👏❤️❤️
Thank you. Are seals ticklish? Stay safe
Awesome guys. Keep up the good job. 👍👏👏
Keep up the great work!
I must know though: is seal fur as soft and smooth as it looks? Are they nice to pet?
Yes they are! A bit like a wet dog.
Bless you for what you do 👍 have a great weekend fellas and likewise to you reading this, take it easy.😎
Thanks, you too!
Horrible fishermen dont take responsibility for their fishing equipment. Seals and fishermen are both competing for same fish to eat. The fishermen probably deliberately rap the lines on them. Gross. Thank u for keeping watch on them...like family!!!!
Love you guys.
💙
Maravilhoso o trabalho que vocês fazem....gratidão parabéns. ..Brazilian..
The first one looked easy, but it was really entangled, luckily no big damage, but the other two! Poor things, really those were cut deep. Thanks guys.
Велика подяка за ваше щире серце, хлопці! 🕊️💖🇺🇦
It's horrifying that not a day goes by without a seal without trash. 😞😞😞
The animals' homes must be protected. Thanks for your work.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The seals in this area seem less nervous....good work guys !!
They are much, much calmer. It's easy to get to them.
@@OceanConservationNamibia - thanks, and a good thing, cause the terrain is a lot more rough with all the rocks !!! cheers !!!
Boa tarde, q tristeza ver os bichinhos sofrendo.
Parabéns pelo trabalho que vcs praticam. Q Deus abençoe a vida de vcs.
СПАСИБО ВАМ !!! 👍 💋💞👋
💚💛💙
Nice work brother
Спасибо ребята. 🤝
I love how chill these seals are. They're kind of suspicious but overall they're like, '"Eh... These guys are cool!"
Also...my favorite shoes are back🤩 I gotta know what kind they are lol . Love that orange!
9 out of 10 seals prefer them.
Awesome job, and have a nice weekend, stay safe.:-)
They have a new life!
Such a small gesture, but huge implications for a little seal.
@@OceanConservationNamibia You're right, I'm always watching them survive thanks to your efforts.
Thank you, OCN!
good job!

I love how the little tiny ones always turn towards you and try to pick a fight. They are so cute. Thank you for helping them. I will buy a tshirt in couple weeks.
Words you don't want to hear Naude say..'oh man'. You know its not going to be good news. Well done as always.
You guys are awesome! It's nice to see they mostly cooperated with you as well, remaining calm. Keep up the good work.
👍
Good job, guys. I don't see any seal poo. Do they only poo in the water?
I wish there were some medicine available that you guys could put on the badly cut ones.
Awesome job guys, keep it going.
i wonder if some of the seals know they will be rescued, they dont run that fast anymore
No, this is a different location where the seals are more used to humans wandering about.
I have no doubt that some of the smarter seals at their usually location have realised these guys are here to help them
I wonder also if there are "danger" signals we as humans don't perceive but at this location the general threat level is low so the triggers are not there. I never could quite understand why I found normal bird song calming then realised one day, it could be because it's the rest of nature (with a good vantage point) saying "no obvious threats, get on with life".
That is my type of triple header. Three more Seals saved. Thank you as always Naude and Team.
Parabéns pelo o belo trabalho e por contribuir com o nosso planeta❤👏🌍
Hope so much they will recover
Thin lines are worst---causing such horrible wounds. Heal soon and stay safe, seal pups.
God bless you always...angels for seals .🙏
It's ironic that the natural curiosity of these marine animals makes them one of natures unwitting vacuum cleaners, albeit at some cost to themselves. Not sure that the guys at Ocean Conservation would like to be regarded as the dustmen though! ;-) Never tire of watching these amazing rescues. Many thanks to you all.
I've watched quite a few of your rescues, and I'm very impressed by how calm you stay with the seals, even when they fight and struggle. Even when you got bitten!
Awesome guys, thank you so much!🇨🇦🐙🐘❣❣❣
Great job👏
Our little brothers the seals probably don't quite understand what's happening, but I do. And it does my soul a lot of good.
Thanks guys you're wonderful angels. Yahuah bless each of you.
👍 keep up the great work!!
Thanks! Will do!
I appreciate you my friend. , you are doing something very good.
god bless you and your friends
What a mess we have made of this world, bless people who are trying to make a difference, God bless you for helping !
The second pup had a cruel cut. So happy you saved it.
Good job🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks
❤️ have a nice Weekend
nice job. they where pretty relaxed. once they realized that you won't eat them ;)
I wonder if they ever found their cars?
😂
That boardwalk seems like a great feature to allow visitors to view the seals without disturbing them. I wish the recreational fishers would be more careful about their fishing line.

Son tan hermosas las foquitas y foquitos, solo desearia que les dijeran a los demás: !!!nos vienen a ayudar!!! !! Déjense atrapar por esos ágiles y cariñosos hombres!!!❤❤❤
Oh boy. Those seals have no idea what you have done for them. On their behalf. Thank you.
Bravo OCN 👏👏👏
Thank you
This parking lot, is it for cars or for seals? I don't see any cars around here.
Seals for sure. 🙂
@@ppgedez
LOL
Rescued just in time! 😊❤️
Devia estar doendo muito o pescoço deles...coitadinhos 😞
Deus te abençoe 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
God bless you for helping these seals some of those deep cuts brings tears to my eyes
Save the planet, 🌍🌏👍🏻👏👏👏
One seal at a time...
You definitely should replace that zipper on the net, and when you do, you need a heavier one. A heavier-duty zipper will both, unzip, and zip up, more freely. Your job will be easier. A sailmaker would be able to handle that kind of work. Heavy duty marine grade or military grade zippers are widely available. This is not expensive. You should have a zipper that works reliably, in situations which require it to operate more smoothly than what you have now. Your closest, local, marina should be able to refer you to a sailmaker, who will be able to remove the old zipper and sew on a new one, as well, he may be able to repair the rents in your netting (if you want that). Hope this helps!!
Thanks for the great content.
Keep up the good work.
