Rescue Operation for Sea Lions in Namibia

During a routine patrol focused on seals entangled in debris, an adult female sea lion was discovered with commercial fishing line constricting her neck. The line had already inflicted significant harm, posing a serious threat to her life if not addressed promptly. Utilizing a specialized net designed for seal capture, the team successfully extricated the entanglement. In 2019, over 300 cape fur seals were rescued by the team. Assistance was provided by two members from a local marine conservation initiative.
