34 Seals Rescued In One Day!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มี.ค. 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.

God’s blessings the team for rescuing these poor animals
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 ❤❤❤
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 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙
Wow, what a bittersweet day! So many entangled, it's heartbreaking. Thank you for being their heroes.💕👍
So many indeed, it is never ending 😐

Молодцы!!! Живите долго и счастливо.Всех благ Вам и низкий поклон.
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.
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 🌊🦭✂️🌍💙
👏 😁 🤟
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
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?
34 in one day, you guys are just amazing! It's tragic that there is so much trash in our precious oceans. Money sent.
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. 🙂👍
Thank you my heroes for saving them ❤️ greetings to all 😊🙋🏼 and wishing you all a nice weekend 😊
To everyone! They have 1.88 million subscribers. If we could all donate at least $1 or $2, it would add up so fast!
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!
Following you since 2 years, 34 rescued in one day, humongous task. Excellent work done.... guys❤
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.
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
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.
I'm amazed that there are so many entanglements, thank you for what you are doing.
34 is such a high number:(
Thank you for being Heroes!
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.
All of you are amazing. Thank you.. 🙏💙
👍
Anyone else love "I got this one Denzil keep going "😂xx
🙂
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.
What a HUGE episode, everyone should see this. Education for the whole family! 😄
Yes, please!

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.
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...
"Off you go! Other way, other way!" Thanks OCN.
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!

Wow what a crazy morning for you guys! That was a lucky bunch of seals! Well done, Naude, Tony, and Denzil 👏👏👏
Thank you for saving so many. I'm sure any you may have missed that day were spotted soon after.😊
I like the technique of twisting the net after the seal is well caught, like twisting the bread bag wrapper to keep anything escaping. 😁
🙂
Incredible work to undo a small bit of selfish, human stupidity. THANK YOU!
This day was amazing
And sad...

Tak,niestety.....😪

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. 🤗💝🏴
👍
It’s sweet you comment on every video with the same emojis :)
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. 😮
🙂👍
Amazing achievment 34 rescues.Exhausted but they keep going.Thank you for your dedication ❤
What a testiment to your work. One of the longest vids on the channel. And remember new subscribers they help all marine wildlife. Even fish and the occasional jackal and gull.
Hey Nick, you forgot the whale!
Sharks.
Shoot, I forgot that one.
Seal #19 exited with style! Great work everyone!!
🙂
A trick he probably learned under water.
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.
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!
Thank you so much for your beautiful job❤

@@OceanConservationNamibia feel yourselves embraced. Awareness is a long road, but we should believe in hope... And, as I see, you represent that hope. Thank you a lot.🙏❤️❤️
Благодарю вас за спасение животных ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏👏
👍
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.
Holy crap. Insane. Nice job, guys. I hope you had some nice, cold beers that night. And I'm sure you slept like logs.
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
like your team's rescue work, stay enthusiastic and always healthy 💞💞💞🦭🦭🦭
❤Team OCN!!!! Dang that was a marathon day for you guys. Thank you.!👍😎✊
❤❤❤ we need more people like you guys...
We actually need a lot less people not caring 😉
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...
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.
Как же много животных страдает от людей. Спасибо вам за то , что делаете такое важное для всех нас, для нашей планеты, дело.
Excellent 😊❤ thanks again for helping the seal's 😮 wow
Ogni foca salvata sottolinea la mancanza di rispetto di uomini che danneggiano gli animali e tutti noi. TEAM OCN❤❤❤❤❤ grazie per tutti i SALVATAGGI.
World class athletes! Thank you!!!
God Bless You Guys ❤❤❤
Ale akcja tyle foczek uratowanych z serca dziekujemy super panowie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇵🇱
Спасибо,это было круто,Вы подарили жизнь ещё 34 малышам спасибо❤❤❤❤❤
❤x34! Thank you.
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!!! 🙏
God bless you all OCN crew for saving these lovely seals ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

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. (But first, let them give up all wars)

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!!!
So many lives saved. So many lives threatened by careless practices of us humans. Keep spreading the message - we can do better!
You guys are all heroes 34 captures you all deserve a medal thanks keep doing what you can God bless

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.
An exceptionally awesome, yet exhausting day guys! Thank you all for your commitment. ♥️
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.

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 . Низкий вам поклон за ваше неравнодушие к морским обитателям ,это человеческий фактор , но страдают морские обитатели моря и океаны не блещут чистотой это печально. Удачи вам и процветания , главное здоровье будьте аккуратны . С уважением к вам из России .
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!!! 🦭 🏖❤
quel courage ! c'est beau ce que vous faites il y a des humains sans scrupules qui détruisent tout sans état et d'autres humains qui vouent leur vie à tenter de réparer les dégâts ! honneur à vous MESSIEURS !!! 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Wow, what a haul! It's such a shame to break your record. In just ONE hour! Super glad you were there to do this incredible work. Thank you for always being there for seals! Incredibly special humans!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Низький уклін вам за допомогу і очам приємно як ви їх ловите перерізати пута які роблять рани нашим котикам і мішають плавати і просто жити в океані❤
I thank God for people like you.Who help innocent animals . you shall be rewarded in heaven for your kindness❤❤❤❤😊
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 ❤

You have shared your gift to make the world a better place than you found it. There are no words of thanks great enough to express what you have done and are continuing to do. Brightest blessings. You have our hearts💜❤️💙
Thank you for saving them all!!

I was absolutely exhausted just watching this! If ever you earned a an ice cold beer at the end of this day!
Team OCN, I am so grateful for your hard work and dedication to saving this species!
It's depressing that they can run in blindly into a pack and be sure to find a number of entanglements.🙁
It is. That showcases the dire state of oceans 😐
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
Antoine's apology to the second seal in the 2-for-1 netting was so sincere. I love it! 🤣🤣🤣
So proud of what you do. Saving so many innocent seals. Such a dedicated team. keep up the good work.
👍
wow!! you guys are wonderful, 34 lives saved! amazing! thank you SO MUCH!!
Мужчины , спасатели тюленей , вы самые лучшие 👍👍👍, преданные своему делу. Ваше благородное дело не оставляет людей равнодушными. Пусть это видео станет уроком тем , кто выходит на ловлю в океаны и моря. Хотя....как мне думается , им ( ловцам) безразлична судьба морских млекопитающих , ведь им важен результат улова , а не порванные сети которые остаются в вводах морей и океанов. Спасибо вам за наших братьев меньших.🙏🙏🙏 Вы лучшие.♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍
Busy day. It felt like the seals were bringing in garbage for the rescuers... Doing their best to help clean up! Glad glad you got all those seals...
Holy Moly!!! Those poor seals would have died without you heroes! thank you for all you do!! Fishing nets and other discarded nets and fishing gear are killing so many marine creatures!

Great work everybody 👏👏👏
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).
