"Ghost" Finally Rescued!

All rescues save lives and we appreciate and celebrate ever single one. Some entangled seals haunt us long enough to be given a name, because they evade capture and their rescue so often that it becomes personal for the rescuers. "Ghost" is one of them! He was spotted and photographed and reported to us many, many times by different fishermen, but each time he disappeared like a ghost before we could get to him. It took the rescuers several attempts to finally catch and free Ghost of his entanglement. When they got close enough, they used two rescue nets to capture him. He had three different entanglements around his neck, probably because he was found close to fish factories with lots of plastic rubbish floating around. Fish factories are an entanglement hot spot, during Ghost's rescue, the OCN team even caught and rescued another seal from plastic packaging. On the side, you can see many fishermen watching the rescue, they often report entanglement sightings to us, including Ghost. Seals are not popular among fishermen, seals are often seen as threat to the fish stocks, but that does not mean that they should suffer, and we appreciate the common ground. 🦭
