It is a personal victory for the rescue team when they catch a seal before the entanglement has caused pain besides discomfort. If the plastic object already injures the animal, the rescue will inevitably bring more harm. The rescuers know they are helping the animal - but the animal does not. To help him, they have to pin the seal down and hurt him even more before it gets better, all because somebody left his rubbish behind. That person will never face any consequences for their actions. They do not have to deal with a scared, hurt, or even dead animal. Out of sight, out of mind.

There is shouting, screaming, and lots of running around and catching seals: the team captures seven seals in less than two minutes. They do not even have enough nets to keep up; they quickly cut and let the animals go as they come to free up resources. Some seals are already wounded, while others get away without damage to their skin. The rescue team is high on adrenaline but cannot allow themselves to slow down and catch their breath. If they miss this opportunity, there might not be another one.

We expected bad, but it was worse. While regular rescue patrols at the seal colonies at Pelican Point and Cape Cross enable us to find entangled animals before they are injured, the more remote seal colonies in other areas of Namibia are not so lucky. One tiny loop of thin rope was enough to suffocate this gorgeous and otherwise healthy animal nearly. Disentanglements only showcase one minor symptom of plastic pollution. While we are proud of our rescues and very encouraged by the global response to our work, we do not see any significant changes to the underlying issue.

Why do plastic buckets end up in the ocean? Because somebody did not need it anymore, it was more convenient to chuck it overboard than bring it back to shore and dispose of it properly. The plastic ring of a bucket lid is an irresistible toy for a seal. Seals are curious and playful; they will examine and toss it around and try to swim through. Any natural debris would not cause harm but break as the seal grows. But plastic does not give in. It is stronger than the animal's increasing neck and will cut into it and suffocate or starve the animal. We hope our videos of entangled animals reach all those who can make a difference by discarding their plastic rubbish properly. Reduce, reuse, recycle.
