Seal Trapped in Traffic Jam Gets Lucky

A painful wound caused by a critical entanglement: this young seal was sprinting toward the ocean when OCN rescuer Hawain gave chase. On the beach, humans are faster, and luckily, a wall of other seals created a momentary “traffic jam” that gave us just enough time to act. Wrapped tightly in a thin rope, the seal was already wounded. If left alone, infection or hypothermia could have set in. He was on his way to becoming just another casualty of the global plastic crisis. Marine animals like our seals don't have a voice, so we will lend them ours: stop plastic pollution, before it destroys our marine ecosystem! 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 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.
