Not exactly ghost fishing gear, but this entanglement certainly falls info the category of fishing related plastic pollution and ocean rubbish: an apron, commonly used in our local fish factories. Antoine rescues this seal at the docks, right next to our biggest factories, there is no doubt that this apron is linked to the fishing industry. Somebody might have even gotten into trouble for losing it, but it didn't stop the apron from making its way into the ocean, where a seal eventually picked it up. We see the amount of rubbish at the local harbour and anywhere else on our beaches and near the ocean, there is plastic everywhere. Everybody walks post, it always seems to be somebody else's problem, even if animals end up dying from it.

OCN rescuer Wally keeps his cool when a little seal with an infected wound grabs his glove and won't let go! Nothing will stop him from saving this life and he continues the rescue without wearing his right glove. He needs to remove a very thin and almost invisible loop of fishing line before he can let the seal go again. Seal bites do not happen very often, but they are a constant threat to the rescuers. Seals do not know that they are getting help, many of our entangled seals aren't even aware that they are in severe danger. To the seal, we are simply a predator, trying to kill and eat them, and they will defend themselves as well as they can.

While focusing on a different seal, the rescuers nearly miss the one with the bright white chemicals bag around his chest! There are too many seals to be able to scan all of them, especially when they are rushing to the safety of the ocean. Thanks to amazing team work, they can capture him anyways and remove the plastic bag. This type of bag is often used to transport agrochemicals, but in Namibia they are used to transport salt from our local salt mine in Walvis Bay. They have also been used for sand, when creating a barrier or dam along the beach. There is a good chance that an old reservoir of chemical bags has open up and we might encounter many, many more of those.
