Seals' NEW ENEMY: Woven Plastic Bags
Показать описание
Many entanglements like fishing nets, fishing hooks and fishing line originate on fishing vessels. Other entanglements we have found are not so easy to trace back, including a dog leash, a full soccer net, a toilet seat, various items of cotton clothing and protective gear.
Lately, activists Antoine and Naude from Ocean Conservation Namibia (OCN) have noticed a new culprit: woven plastic bags. We are not sure where they come from. They might have been used to store dry chemicals. Empty bags might have blown into the ocean, or full bags fell into the water when shipped into or out of Namibia. Either way - seals are notoriously playful and therefore prone to get stuck in this new kind of plastic entanglement. There is no stretch. As the seal grows, the non-degradable plastic inevitably starts cutting into the seals' skin, until they starve, suffocate and die.
We managed to rescue a few seals at Pelican Point, Namibia, over the past few days. There will be more to come. Until littering and ocean pollution leads to severe consequences, we can do nothing but clean up the mess others made. 🦭
