Carefully Removing Fatal Loops Of Fishing Line From A Calm Seal

This calm seal patiently waited on the rocks as Hawain stepped in to remove several tight loops of abandoned fishing line from its neck. We always hope they feel the immediate wave of relief when the pressure is gone, but the truth is, this seal likely had no idea it was in fatal danger. A seal's mother can never teach them to stay away from plastic. Their natural instincts tell them to be curious, explore, and investigate their environment. When a young seal finds a tangled ball of fishing line, they think it’s a toy to play with and toss around. They have absolutely no way of knowing that they are playing with a ticking time bomb. Every piece of plastic left in the ocean is a trap waiting to spring. 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please visit our website to find out more about our work and how to support us: ➡ Website: https://www.ocnamibia.org/ ➡ Donate via Paypal: https://ow.ly/BTm550PIavq ➡ Donate via Stripe: https://ow.ly/Xy1F50PIMzQ ➡ Support via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OCN ➡ FAQs: https://www.ocnamibia.org/faqs Follow us on social media: ➡ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oceanconservationnamibia/ ➡ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OCNamibia ➡ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@oc_namibia ➡ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ocnamibia/ ➡ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ocnamibia 😊 Thank you for every like, share, comment and subscribe 😊 Ocean Conservation International is registered as a non-profit organisation under chapter 501(c)3.
