Bewildered Seal Rescued from Fishing Line

Rescue training for Team Alaska continues. Our rescue nets are custom-built and have saved thousands of seals. A bit of practice and training is needed to use them properly. The zippers are strong, but they are under a lot of pressure once the seal is trapped. Sometimes sand or the animal’s fur gets stuck. Also, we cannot influence how the seal positions itself. If the tag, the knotted part of the fishing line entanglement, is located on the side of the net, we have to open up the net and roll the seal on its side to have better access. Luckily Chelsea and Dallas have plenty of experience with seals and are not scared to join the action and help save lives! 🦭 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Please visit our website to find out more about our work and how to support us: ➡ Website: ➡ Donate via Paypal: ➡ Donate via Stripe: ➡ Support via Patreon: ➡ FAQs: Follow us on social media: ➡ Instagram: ➡ Facebook: ➡ TikTok: @oc_namibia ➡ LinkedIn: ➡ Twitter: 😊 Thank you for every like, share, comment and subscribe 😊 Ocean Conservation International is registered as a non-profit organisation under chapter 501(c)3.
