"Ghost" Rescued Again!

Once again, “Ghost” lives up to his name. He was spotted, photographed, and reported to us by many observant human beings, but we needed a few days to finally find him ourselves. He looked very healthy since the last time we rescued him. This fishing line was tight around his neck but didn’t cut him just yet, so we’re sure he will recover quickly, and we are also sure that we will have to rescue him again soon.

Poor Ghost, he was so badly hurt & in pain. Thanks for saving his life - again.

I hope this is the last time poor Ghost is caught and entangled in discarded fishing gear. He's suffered enough for multiple lifetimes. Thank goodness someone saw he was in trouble and sent the team a photo so he could be rescued again. I like that Naude called him buddy. There's a rapport there. I hope he recovers and gains much needed weight. Thank you OCN!

So, Ghost knows the routine if he has been rescued before. Unfortunately, he does not seem to know how to avoid the lines. Although in the water, they may be very hard to see. They are transparent and likely blend in until it is too late. Thank you, as always, Team OCN for all you do!!

Наши усилия - всего лишь капля в море по сравнению с миллионами тонн мусора, ежегодно попадающими в мировой океан. К сожалению, мы не решаем проблему, а лишь лечим симптомы пластикового кризиса с помощью наших спасательных средств. Эти видеоролики призваны показать последствия этого загрязнения и изменить его корни, а именно: нашу зависимость от одноразового пластика, отсутствие правоохранительных органов на море и недостатки индустрии переработки.

Why do fisherman tie snookline like that? Poor Ghost, if it wasn't for his heroes, he truly would have been a ghost long departed. Thanks Naude and Antoine, you saved him yet again.❤️🙏🏻👍

@OceanConservationNamibia 18 күн бұрын

Commercial fishing lines are often tied in loops on board fishing vessels to secure equipment or hang fish in the hold. Recreational fishing lines are stored on reels and naturally tend to loop once uncoiled. When they get tangled or knotted, anglers cut and discard them as they are unfortunately too cheap to be worth unraveling. Many studies show that fishing gear poses the greatest entanglement threat to marine wildlife. Fishing activities are inherently destructive and fully participate in the plastic crisis our oceans are now facing. We therefore encourage our viewers to stop eating seafood.

It hurts to see animals suffering this much because of human waste. Even worse knowing that many animals die slowly and painfully out of sight due to this. We must keep spreading the awareness by pointing to this as one of the consequences of poverty and lack of garbage disposal management.

Our efforts are just a drop in the bucket compared to the millions of tonnes of trash entering the world's oceans every year. We are unfortunately not solving the problem, but only treating the symptoms of the plastic crisis with our rescues. These videos aim to show the consequences of this pollution and create a change to tackle its roots - namely our addiction to single-use plastics, the lack of law enforcement at sea, and the shortcomings of the recycling industry.

Perhaps he even likes to fight with rescuers))) Today is May 2, 2024. This amazing channel has 1.92 million subscribers (the number has not changed for 13 days. Disgrace!!! We are waiting for another 80,000 subscribers!) Subscribe if you have not already done so. By subscribing, liking, commenting, donating and reposting, you help save seals.
