Seal "Frida" Finally Rescued!

Seal "Frida" was OCN's first international rescue mission! We heard about this entangled Cape Fur Seal from Paul, a concerned Cape Town resident. He had seen Frida several times in Hout Bay, she seemed to have a piece of blue plastic string around her neck.
In Cape Town, most seal rescues can be done with a long pole and a hook. Seals are well habituated and local rescuers can get close enough to use their rescue hook. But Frida wasn't having it, she clearly had trust issues! She would not allow anybody near her to save her from suffocating.
The OCN rescuers are used to the cold shoulder treatment - Namibian seals never allow us close enough to use the hook, and we are used to improvising a lot, and we have our unique seal rescue net! We connected with local seal rescue activists from Cape Town and asked for permission to try our luck, and a few days later, we jumped on a plane and started searching for Frida. We could not believe our luck when we actually found her on day 2 of our Cape Town mission. We did what we do best and we rescued her not only from one, but from TWO entanglements!
The rescue was very different to Pelican Point, the terrain is different and we are used to a lot more space. It was a huge success for us, and we are grateful that we received such a warm welcome from the Hout Bay Seal Rescue Center. 🦭
