This seal rescue took place at Cape Cross, Namibia. Cape Cross is one of the worlds largest seal colonies, and can hold up to 400 000 Cape Fur Seals at the height of breeding season in December. The plan was not actually to rescue seals on this day, but rather to just observe. This however changed when Naude and his family noticed many entangled animals, and decided to help one that was close to the walkway leading through the colony.

Cape Cross is unlike any other seal colony. With over 200,000 Cape fur seals, it’s the largest Cape Fur Seal colony. Unlike Pelican Point or other colonies, the seals here are used to seeing tourists. Seals here watch us, they react - but they don’t panic right away. This gives us a rare chance to get closer than usual, to try and reach the entangled ones before they bolt. At most colonies, they’d run to the ocean immediately. Here, they scatter across the beach instead and that sometimes gives

Cape Cross is one of Namibia’s largest seal colonies - and a hard one to work in. The terrain is sharp, uneven, and slippery, making every rescue attempt physically demanding and risky.On this run, our team managed to rescue two entangled seals. A lower number than usual, but every seal counts. We’ll be back again to try for more. Sadly, one of our GoPro cameras gave out after years of service, so the second rescue wasn’t recorded. We’re reaching out to GoPro and hoping they’ll continue their ge

Cape Cross is a tough place for a seal rescue: slippery rocks, hundreds of seals, and tight timing. But when one life is saved and another seal is suddenly spotted in distress, OCN rescuers jump into action. Antoine, while busy with a seal, sees another entangled seal and bolts, but he’s out of reach. That’s when Naude arrives with the rescue net, and together they pull off a perfect team save. Every second counts when seals are entangled in deadly plastic. And every success reminds us: we need

Cape Cross is packed. Tens of thousands of seals scattered across rocks and sand. In the chaos of the colony, how many are entangled right now? 10? 100? We don’t know. But one of them needed help right now. Entangled in longline fishing gear - a type of entrapment we haven’t seen in a while. It likely happened when he tried to scavenge from a commercial fishing vessel. Longline fishing isn’t supposed to affect seals. But here we are. While OCN rescuers Damian and Naude sprint through a stampede

The seals at Cape Cross are scattered far and wide. The rescuers haven’t spotted an entangled animal yet, but they know it’s only a matter of time. And, as usual, they’re right. Sadly. It’s just a faint impression around the seal’s neck that gives it away. It could be an old scar from a previous rescue, or something new. Rescuer Antoine moves in for a closer look and finds the culprit: a thin box strap, almost invisible against the fur. He removes it carefully. While we never want to disturb so

There are more than 100.000 seals at Cape Cross. Individual groups of seals are much bigger than at Pelican Point. When we spot a few entangled ones, we often spot more victims of plastic during our chase, and we end up rescuing more than we initially spotted. Too many marine animals suffer from marine litter. Tomorrow, we will have even more rubbish in the ocean than today. | Ocean Conservation Namibia
