Cape Cross sits beside one of the largest fur seal colonies on Earth. Access to the ocean here is tightly regulated to protect wildlife. Mind surfing the wave from shore is the closest you can get. Last weekend, 📱 @luhanbruwer watched Cape Cross do its thing. Do you know of any other waves off-limits that are this good? | Surfline

Cape Cross is unlike any other seal colony. With over 200,000 Cape fur seals, it’s the largest Cape Fur Seal colony. Unlike Pelican Point or other colonies, the seals here are used to seeing tourists. Seals here watch us, they react - but they don’t panic right away. This gives us a rare chance to get closer than usual, to try and reach the entangled ones before they bolt. At most colonies, they’d run to the ocean immediately. Here, they scatter across the beach instead and that sometimes gives

Cape Cross seems out of control. Thousands of seals, and far too many are entangled. As our team approaches the colony, the animals begin to flee, but in doing so, they create a massive bottleneck. This chaos becomes our only chance to scan the moving crowd for entangled individuals. We can’t reach every seal, but sometimes, this self-made “chute” lets us spot and catch multiple victims in a matter of seconds. Today was one of those days. Ropes, fishing line, plastic straps, it’s all there, wrap

Cape Cross is a crowded, noisy seal colony. Thousands of seals are used to encounters with humans and they don't mind. But this time, something must have felt different. Our team spotted a pup with a fishing line entanglement digging into his side. Who was right next to him: his mum! Rescuer Naude had to move in carefully, aware that a protective mother could react unpredictably. Luckily the pup was caught, quickly cut free, and without hesitation, ran straight back to the only place he felt saf

Cape Cross is a tough place for a seal rescue: slippery rocks, hundreds of seals, and tight timing. But when one life is saved and another seal is suddenly spotted in distress, OCN rescuers jump into action. Antoine, while busy with a seal, sees another entangled seal and bolts, but he’s out of reach. That’s when Naude arrives with the rescue net, and together they pull off a perfect team save. Every second counts when seals are entangled in deadly plastic. And every success reminds us: we need

Cape Cross is one of Namibia’s largest seal colonies - and a hard one to work in. The terrain is sharp, uneven, and slippery, making every rescue attempt physically demanding and risky.On this run, our team managed to rescue two entangled seals. A lower number than usual, but every seal counts. We’ll be back again to try for more. Sadly, one of our GoPro cameras gave out after years of service, so the second rescue wasn’t recorded. We’re reaching out to GoPro and hoping they’ll continue their ge

Cape Cross is far away from factories and industries that could be using this kind of plastic, but we are finding more and more Cape Cross Seals with this entanglement. The packing straps are easy to spot, so we have the chance to remove them early, long before they can hurt the animal. #ocn #pollution #plastic #oceanconservationnamibia #sealrescue | Ocean Conservation Namibia

The rocks at Cape Cross aren't only slippery, but they also reek of seal urine and excrement! Hawain knows that and cannot stop himself from giggling when Antoine helplessly slides down the rock. Any broken skin has the potential to lead to proper infections for the rescuers. Luckily it wasn't Antoine's first day at work, he came well-prepared with his knee protectors to prevent scrapes and scratches. They quickly remove a piece of thin fishing line from the seal's neck, and Tony continues to sl

Cape Cross is a hot spot for recreational fishing line entanglements. Recreational fishing lines are not part of commercial fishing, they’re used by hobby anglers all over the world. The ocean provides for them and one would hope they treated the sea better in return. There is simply no excuse why so much of their rubbish ends up in the ocean. #ocn #pollution #plastic #oceanconservationnamibia #sealrescue | Ocean Conservation Namibia

The seals at Cape Cross are scattered far and wide. The rescuers haven’t spotted an entangled animal yet, but they know it’s only a matter of time. And, as usual, they’re right. Sadly. It’s just a faint impression around the seal’s neck that gives it away. It could be an old scar from a previous rescue, or something new. Rescuer Antoine moves in for a closer look and finds the culprit: a thin box strap, almost invisible against the fur. He removes it carefully. While we never want to disturb so
