Rescuing seals stuck in fishing lines in Namibia 🦭 [S5 - Eps. 50]

- In this episode, I am joining Naude and his team to rescue Cape Fur Seals that are entangled in all sorts of human trash, like nets, plastics, fishing lines, volleybal nets and the list goes on. They are going out there every single day to help seals that are entangled. There are so many animals in need of help that last year alone, they rescued 600 animals. For this year, the count is already at 200 seals that they freed out of plastic waste. It soon became clear to me what a massive problem this is, and how amazing the work that these guys do.
They release videos of rescuing seals every single day on their TH-cam channel: Ocean Conservation Namibia. Check out their channel - you won't regret it!!

Thank you for bringing awareness to ocean rubbish and plastic pollution! It was great meeting you!
Love you guys. Often I am watching your channel, then this one immediately after. Or the other way around. Brilliant work! You taught me to cut my plastic cord, packaging, etc.
@@paulroberts3639 That's great, thank you!
A GREAT hookup for Noraly with Naude and team.....another of my favorite channels!
Thank you guys, for the work you are doing 👍👍
This is so cool, fingers crossed it brings in some donations, you lot rock.
"Saving one animal won't change the world, but it will change the world for that one animal."
Well said 👍🏽
That’s very well said!!
You couldn't of said it better
Small beginnings, but beginnings nevertheless
And hopefully videos like this will help educate people in the importance of disposing of plastic and other 'waste' properly.
For a YT channel dedicated to motorcycle adventure riding it had 0 (zero) motorcycles and 0 (zero) riding yet I still thoroughly enjoyed it. And another proof that a random encounter can make huge difference. Excellent job as usual.
A human being can either profit from life saving money, or profit from life saving life. BRAVO!
Bravo! Instead of clubbing seals in Alaska, you’re saving seals from fishing lines!
I've seen almost all your videos since season 1, and what I notice is a beautiful, deliberate inclusion of social and environmental issues in the places you have been to. (e.g silver mining in Bolivia and lithium mining in Argentina (?) in season 2, Nelson Mandela , animal conservation in South Africa in season 5, and now this.) Yours is not just an adventure travel channel. This is a dimension in your videos that makes it really worth your viewers' while. Congratulations.
Such awesome human beings 👍👍I’m 78 and have seen lots of devastation but young conscious world service puts joy in my heart 🙏🏼💗🇨🇦
For some years I've watched most of the seal rescue videos from the Ocean Conservation site. It was only this year that I discovered 'Itchy Boots' and I went back to the beginning video and have been catching up on her adventures.
So I was super happy to see this video of her working with Naude and the crew with the seal rescue. I don't recall if she was featured on one of their videos...I probably did see if it, if so, but just didn't know who she was at the time. I love that their paths crossed.
Excellent! It's as if you are a real old-fashioned journalist. No opinions. Just, look at this, here is what some people are doing. It's straight forward reporting. I get everything from your videos, motorcycling, world travel, history, geology, and general science. In a word...knowledge. Thanks! You're getting better every day.
I was cracking up when you woke that sleeping beauty up then he ran and woke his buddy up to run from the humans.
And the seal called them names
Man! their eyesight is awesome! To see one particular seal entangled in nets from a group of thousands....wow.
Von den Bildern, dieser übel zugerichteten Tiere, war ich geschockt. Dies sind auch Gottes Geschöpfe und wir haben die Verantwortung für sie. Dank an dich, Noraly, dass du uns zeigst was ist. ❤
One Woman, on her knees early in the morning acting like a seal among 1 million seals, saves seals lives along the Namib desert coastline! She's called Noraly! Thanks for a great adventure Noraly!
My husband and I just recently discovered your channel, you are doing something we have always dreamed of doing. We grew up riding dirt bikes and street bikes, and, well anything with wheels. Now we are older and our bodies aren't able to handle what they used to. But I just wanted to let you know how much I so admire you for your ability to follow your dreams without fear. This video really opened my eyes to how much man really effects the environment, which I already knew, but this really puts it into perspective. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us, I feel like I'm able to experience what you are experiencing through your videos!
Agree
Hey Noraly, thanks for showing us the amazing work these guys are doing 👌...it's pretty shameful that we the human race are the cause of this suffering. Thank goodness for the good guys ( and girls!!) Cheers, Steve
In dieser Folge machst du auf ein ganz großes von Menschen gemachtes Problem aufmerksam, welches nicht zwangsläufig die Menschen in den Ländern zu verantworten haben, vor deren Küsten es auftritt. Vielen Dank dafür.
personally I think that is one of the most important episodes you've done. Thank you so much for making us aware of this situation - not just hearing about it but getting an up close experience
We can’t all save life, human or animal, but we can do the right thing!
Amazing Rescue Service for Seals.
We Done and Salute Your Colleagues too.
God Bless All

Humans are a violation of the environment. No other species on this planet devastating their home as violently as we do. I question my species. We add nothing by virtue. We just replace what we ruined. Thankfully, there are people of the environment that try to return balance, and I'm so grateful for their heart and noble work.
Sad to see that this is necessary, but good that there are people who do this.
@david woods Sorry I don't agree.... Banning plastic is not the entire solution. BEHAVING OURSELVES CORRECTLY is the first priority. Lots of plastics can be recycled and others should be destroyed properly in appropriate facilities. We are just too lazy to pack it back after we packed it out for our diverse usages.
It’s hard to act against a plastic fishing net that got stuck at a reef and end up as a loss to the fishing vessel. These nets stays at the bottom of the sea capturing fish and mammals. Boats, well obviously not the boats but the sailors, still drops their waste in open sea - out of sight out of mind - and we, they, still drop waste out of the windows when driving their cars.
We need to act, and act now.
@david woods I tought I did provide one: Assume our own responsabilities !
You did it!! I was been watching these rescuers on TH-cam for a long while. Love their work. I was hoping you would seek them out when you were in the region. Two of my favourite TH-cam channels working together….. brilliant.
I watch those guys every on TH-cam. If I don't watch anything else. I love them guys and what they do. Couldn't believe it when I saw her with them. Best video of her yet.
Thanks for showing our country to the world 🇳🇦🇳🇦🇳🇦
Now we are talking girl , rescuing poor souls are the best thing ever.
Talk about job satisfaction. These people know every day what good they've done by seeing it with their own eyes. A wonderful work!
Thanks for this insight, Noraly! ^^)
It makes my heart ache seeing the struggles these poor animals have to deal with because of human disregard.
I am astonished that some people have given a thumbs down to such an amazing and worthwhile video, showing the plight of our marine life due to waste needlessly entering our oceans. Thankfully people like these exist around the world and dedicate their time and lives to trying to reverse, as best they can, as much damage as possible. Selfish, ignorant, lazy and greedy humans caused this needlessly, it needs to stop.
Oh my word... I'm new to motorcycling but not new to travelling, and that's my perspective watching you. All your videos are inspiring, some exceptionally so, and every now and again I find myself in total awe. This video is different. This one makes real the abstract issue of plastic in the ocean, which my four kids and I all care about -- conceptually. Now I care for real, and I'm going to start by making a donation to OCNamibia. Then I'm making my kids watch this video. Then...
Thank you. I'm the 1489th commenter, so I don't expect you'll see this, but if you do, know that this video is the most important one to me so far.
This really highlights the complete disregard by the worlds shipping agencies for nature and its implications by dumping their filth into our seas.Thank you.
It's not just shipping agencies but private boaters too that get their props tangled in fishing nets they just cut away and let go to continue drifting along the currents. Humans of all stripes are to blame for eons old habit of dumping trash into the oceans.
All commercial fishing is a dirty business. Much of the suffering by animals and humans
around the world could be taken care of if everyone would eat vegetarian.
@@oceandrew I have no doubt.Makes me sick.
@@brucekendall52 Yup.
@@deevnn I've heard they don't taste very good, so I think I'll pass on that one.
That was so good. The guys from Ocean Conservation Namibia are doing a brilliant job for all of us in the world that care about our oceans and the animals, fish etc that live in them. Well done Noraly for helping out, it made for a great vid.
That is a great thing to see their are people who care enough and will remove lines, hooks, string and wire from these animals. I can only imagine the pain and damage this can cause over time. Thanks it's a wonderful thing that you do...any thing that can be done to stop pain and suffering to one of God's creature's is a tribute to mother nature. Thank you again.
Yes, this was a very special episode - I just don't have the words ... except, thank you, Noraly, and thank the people at Ocean Conservation Namibia!
Noraly, you definitely put a "Seal" on this one.
Dedication of the Guys & Gals looking after Seals.
" Incredible amount of garbage".
Just shows us what us Humans can do to harm Nature and its Environment.
Props to the sleeping seal for not ditching his buddy.
This made me cry today.
A lot of small donations will help this work continue. So don't feel bad if you can only send a little bit.
Makes me sad. Like these poor little seals don't have enough problems in the world. I'm glad someone is helping them. Especially our own Noraly.
Omg. I'm surprised!! Nice collab. I've been watching ocean conservation too. Way to go!
Dear Itchy Boots, I've been watching you for months now, and I also have been watching Ocean Conservation Namibia for more months. And I kept thinking, I should introduce you two. But you managed to do that yourself.
I stand and salute you, Itchy Boots, for your courage and your capacity to remain sweet and adorable despite the great courage that you have find within yourself to be able to motorcycle around southern Africa. I doubt that I could do it, and I am a man with big muscles. You have renewed my faith in humanity.
What good people helping the wildlife that most people don’t care about who’d recklessly toss garbage overboard who are not good stewards of the planet or life ..thank you and thank you Noraly for filming this
Noraly gostei da sua participação aí, é como si fosse eu no seu lugar oh glória 😊
Bless Naude and his team for the work they are doing to remove the fishing lines from the seals. Great information to show the public what all their trash is doing. Thanks Noraly for sharing. Be safe and keep up your good work.
I have watched the seal savers before. Getting them with Noraly is such a super bonus. What an ambassador for good she is!!! She makes it good wherever she goes. Texas
What a fabulous life you are living, Noraly. Great to see the effort that the Namibia government is doing for the conservation of animal life. Best to you and Godspeed.
This is all kinds of wonderful and sad at the same time ❤️
It's saddening to see how our actions affect the innocent animals around us. And this channel may be about Noraly sharing her journeys to us, but it also helps in showing what is happening in our world.
@@boogboog8097 i think it's quite ignorant to say that Europe is not included in any negative things that are happening in our world today, i didn't mean just plastic, all of us has a negative effect in our planet.
That's such great work they're doing! Thank you for taking us along with you, Noraly!
Those guys are really fighting the good fight. My hat's off to them.
C'était tellement émouvant de voir ces jeunes bébés phoques reprendre leur liberté après avoir été libéré de leur plastique 🥹
When you go for a ride with Noraly you have no idea what you are going to see, but you know that you will not be disappointed. Bravo.
Noraly has the best random encounter dates on the internet. Nice job Noraly.
Thanks for the collaboration with OCN. I've been watching their channel for the last couple of years and donate to their cause when I can. Safe travels, thank you. I subscribed. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.🙏♥️🇺🇲
I’ve watched a lot of their videos, they do a great job rescuing seals.
One of your best videos yet!! love this stuff, I will go donate to this organization. Thank you Noraly. C'mon people of earth lets get our shit together and start caring for those that truly need our help! We have to stop plastic waste!!! Please big companies donate to these causes so that they can buy equipment and labor to help out.
There is no such thing as “Coincidence”. You two meeting each other was arranged by the universe.
Ocean Conservation Namibia is doing God’s work. Thank you 🙏
So true!
And a universe of ocn fans asking noraly to wisit them
Nothing to do with any of your silly 'gods' ! They are trying to remediate what irresponsible people do
Thank you for this one. One battle against the evils of mankind. Each battle makes a difference.
Thank you for making us aware of how plastic is harming these beautiful animals. Please make more videos like this. Great job.
I’m originally from Namibia and have so been enjoying this part of your trip. I grew up in that southern region of Namibia and I find the landscapes so beautiful. Wonderful to share in the Ocean Conservation in today’s video.
Great job Noraly and OCN for helping the seals entangled in the fishing line. The world needs more people like you!
I found it impossible to not help these guys out with a little donation, thanks for bringing them to my attention.
Amazing that I got to see two of my favorite TH-cam channels converge for a day of filming.
Good morning Noraly! What wonderful adventure do you have for us today?
Hi Noraly, What a worthwhile day you've had. Everyone needs to take there rubbish home to help protect our planets wildlife, we can all do our bit. Be safe x
each time you guys cut the string my eyes would start to water with relief.then i would cry a bit more with joy and a smile crept across my face as i watched them scramble back to the sea. even writing this now i still are so incredibly moved. you guys are saints.!!!
OCN uploads a seal rescue video every morning - peace!
As a lover of all animals, wild and domestic, seeing this video was important to me...the most important video I've seen you produce. These plastics must be abolished and replaced with degradable, humane methods of fishing. No more plastics!
Now don’t try and tell me this isn’t the most exciting channel on TH-cam. Bravo, IB!
I think this is the most interaction you have done on all your adventures. You are an honorary Namibian
I agree, Noraly definitely got involved here.
There are still some good People on the earth 🌍.. Great video Itchy..👍👍👍🇦🇺
I had no idea how much trash in the Ocean was doing harm to seals. I am just glad that you are in Namibia instead of South Africa.
WOW! Bless these men saving these animals. Something had to be done and they're doing it. This was totally not what I expected on your channel today. Maybe not what you expected either. Beautiful. Thanks, Noraly!
Incredible job these men do fulltime, there is so much garbage just tossed overboard by morons that not realise for a second how many animals will end up dead in a horrible way!
You were a big help to them, great job, Noraly!
Thank you so much for sharing this adventure as well! I subscribed to those heroes channel.
Most plastic in the seas does not fall from ships but finds it way from land to rivers and finally to the sea. Only 12% of all plastic is recycled, 35% is burned 19% ends in unknown places (probably the sea) and the rest is in landfills from where it sometimes makes it way to the sea...
Tolle Arbeit der Jungs . Diese Arbeit muss weltweit gezeigt werden. Wir machen unseren Planeten Erde sonst unumkehtbar kaputt. Und Danke für deine tollen Bilder von Namibia. Ich verfolge sehr gerne deine Reisen. Immer sehr interessant und informativ. Bleib gesund . Viele Grüsse aus der Schweiz
I really salute those guys, doing wonderful rescue and conservation work. Great guys. Thanking you so much on behalf of those rescued seals.
These guys are doing a fantastic job, and there are so many more animals all over the world affected by the behaviour of the human species. It was great that you met up with them and shared the experience. I subbed to their channel. Very special episode.
I was watching this rescue channel like 10 mins back and now u r a part of the team 😀😀😀. That's an awesome coincidence.
Our team is growing every day :-)
Namaskaara 🙏
So glad there are humans in the World like this! ❤️❤️
When human have better healthy life, others also should get same healthy life . This plant is not only for humans.
Noraly you did a great job. Lots of awareness being created by your voice. Be safe
So few protected bays along that coast- explains the presence of all the ships, and all the seals! Such a fine thing to do! The heart goes out to those guys, & to you, Noraly!
Very enlightening and a real worry seeing just how much rubbish ends up in the sea
Magnificent work that those lads are doing. Heartbraking though, to see how animals have to suffer from the neglect or unwise behaviour of other men. Thank you Noraly for giving us the opportunity to watch those fantastic rescue operations.
What an amazing job you do. Unsung heroes.
Thank you to both the Guys from Ocean Conservation Namibia, and yourself Noraly, for raising ocean awareness. Enjoy your time in that wonderful country.
What a great thing they are doing. As a US sailor, we don’t throw stuff over the side anymore. Sadly, that isn’t the case for a lot of the other flags of the world. God bless their work!
So glad there are people out there doing this kind of thing. This issue needs more press so people are aware of where their trash is ending up.
This was by far the best Africa episode to date!!!
I missed two things : Naude speaking Dutch, saying "nee nee nee" to a seal that tries to escape from Naude's grip, and Antoine comforting a puppy seal with his famous words "it's okay, puppy, it's okay "
I love these guys, all of them 💓
Edit: 18:46 I spoke too early 😊
They speak Afrikaans
@@retro9042 Which is close to Dutch. Hard to tell the difference.
I once met a guy from SA and we had a nice conversation and a good laugh him speaking afrikaans and me speaking dutch.
🤝👍🇳🇱
@@Plons0Nard yeah it's very similar to Dutch
@Danny Archer No. He said nee. He says it in almost all of his videos.
@Danny Archer . Ek dink jy is reg Danny. I've lissen also, but could not understand if its Afrikaans/ Dutch or even German. To me it sounds like English too.. (Maybe we must ask the source...Was he speaking(swearing?) or thinking hard..in Afrikaans, Flemish, Dutch, Danish, German, English or Khoisan )
Walvisbaai, St. Helena Island (UK), Lesotho(Basotho land of King Mosjesh of the Basotho's) and also Simons town/ Simonstad (Cape) was all part of the Cape Colony. End Everything belonged to England. Under the Mandela-Government Walvis was given to Namibia. (and there was a lot of looting...) Don't 4get Walvis was taken by English to block the Germans to have propper port in the that Colony. So the German Colonials had to pay the English Colonials to use the port..
First time to your channel, Dave Hodges recommended it. So glad he did!! What a wonderful service these gents provide to these beautiful marine mammals!! Thanks for sharing itchy boots!
Thank you, Noraly, the was awesome and a bit sad. God bless Ocean Conservation Namibia!!
Noraly, well done, I am so proud of you helping rescuing the seals. You are the best.
This is such a heart wrenching thing to see. I am so glad that you where able to share this with the world Noraly. I also had no idea how bad this issue is for the animals. I knew it was a big problem but this really drives the point home. Thank you again Noraly for continuing to drive the point home that we are all together on this earth and what happens here also affects what happens on the other side of the planet.
And this is just one small area, so many places where these and other species of seals come ashore.
Unbelievable and incomprehensible how some people can deal casually with nature, on which we depend so much. Great to see that there are people who want to do this great work for the animals in need. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!! For you too Noraly. I love your video's.
Fantastic. Two of my favorite TH-cam channels meet by accident!
that seal was exhausted, woke up another seal, awesome. these guys are generous
It's intriguing to see OCN'S rescues through the eyes of someone who doesn't also do this work. Sometimes OCN does not show enough of what they do in their own videos! You're the representative of all curious OCN fans! Thank you SO much!!🙏❤

The ocean conservaton Namibia people will be some of the Best Humans you will ever meet Noraly 👍❤️❤️❤️
God bless these men, who rescuing seals!
Thankyou Noraley for lending your assistance for such a noble cause!
I fell in love with Namibia several years ago, I just adore the land and the people there, it's like a whole different world. I was even lucky enough to do a little sea kayaking at Walvis Bay where we were surrounded by hundreds of very nosey but friendly seals wondering who we were visiting their watery home. Who knows, if I'm very lucky I may get to do it again one day.
Noraly, thank you for bringing attention to this serious problem. I lived & traveled on a sailboat for 4 years and most people would be amazed at the amount of trash in our oceans. The other animal we saw suffering a lot from getting caught in various types of plastic trash, was sea turtles.
Some of those beautiful animals would likely have perished with out this work. Outstanding to care and help and fix! KUDOS to you men.....
Great to see humans helping other species because most of the times they won't even help their own species. Great video and content.
