Seal’s Skin Sliced Open By Fishing Line

One of the worst wounds from entanglement Naude has seen so far - he surely knows what he is talking about after close to 3000 seal rescues under his belt since 2013. The thinner the line, the deeper the cut. Fishing line becomes razor sharp under tension. What starts as a loop around a seal’s neck turns very quickly into a relentless death trap as the seal pup grows into a bigger juvenile. This injury is caused by a tiny piece of plastic rubbish. There are currently an estimated trillion pieces of plastic debris in the World oceans.
