GoPro Cause: Rescuing Seals from Plastic Entanglement POV | Ocean Conservation Namibia

- Every day, massive amounts of plastic trash are deposited into our oceans. While one stray piece of plastic may seem insignificant, that is all it takes for a curious seal to be trapped in human waste for the rest of its life.
GoPro For a Cause partner, Ocean Conservation Namibia raises awareness about the devastating effects of plastic pollution by documenting the rescue of entangled seals and other marine wildlife from plastic debris along the Namibian coast in southern Africa. Through observation, direct action, exposure, and education OCN raises awareness of the global plastic crisis and hopes to motivate people worldwide to reduce their plastic footprint and work towards a sustainable future.
Seal rescues are OCN's main priority. Seal entanglement is a massive problem along Namibia's Skeleton Coast-home to more than 1.5 million Cape Fur seals. According to OCN, seals are curious and playful and often get entangled in plastic debris such as abandoned fishing lines and nets, packaging, and bags. Once entangled, the seals cannot free themselves. As they grow, the entanglements tighten around their neck, flippers, mouth, and body-leading to an agonizing death.
Over the past ten years, OCN's seal rescue team has disentangled over 3,000 seals from ocean rubbish. Head to the link to learn how you can get involved with Ocean Cleanup Namibia 👉 gopro.com/news/gopro-for-a-ca...

Great job! People like you make people still have hope in humanity
Thank you for showcasing OCN! They are doing phenomenal work!
If you aren't familiar with them, Ocean Conservation Namibia is a NGO that "unentangles" hundreds of seals a year -- as well as the odd sea turtle, shark, whale, jackal, etc. They post daily videos on their CZcams channel.
There was a documentary called _Cutting the Line_ that was recently released for a three day run. Great job on it!
Literally HEROES
They are the ones who should give the gopro awards
Totally agree..
OCN! I love their channel. And their work even more! 😊

You men and women are awesome. It amazes me some of the ocean trash that ends up around the seals necks. Thank you for giving them relief and their life back from a painful death.

"...I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be.”

I've fished my entire life. I remember when I was a little girl, my dad would pay us to collect discarded fishing line and trash while he would fish. I do the same with my kids. I wish everyone cared. Then it wouldn't happen. How do others ignore the suffering caused by humans upon animals needlessly? I'll never understand.

this vid can use by go pro and leatherman...LOL
Ha ah ha
Anyone else cringe that the video title says seal and it’s clearly a sea lion. GoPro slacking.
These are called Brown fur seals or Cape fur seal.
There aren't any sea lions in Namibia. These are cape fur seals. They aren't true seals, but they're still called fur seals. There are true seals and eared seals like like sea lions and fur seals.
