Seal Bull Nearly Defeated by a Few Grams of Plastic

A massive seal bull, built for power and survival, nearly met an unworthy end. We found him at Pelican Point, entangled in a dense, bundled-up ball of snoek fishing line. It’s a common find here, but it’s deadly. While global bycatch numbers are mostly just estimations, we know the reality is far uglier than the statistics suggest. If he hadn't hauled out on the beach at the exact moment we were passing, he might have become just another 'hidden' statistic. Watch as the OCN team steps in to ensure this magnificent animal keeps his place in the colony. 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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.
