We have rescued 1,017 Cape fur seals so far this year.
This month, we only rescued 5 animals as we started to see newborns around the colonies very early. We had 12 rescues and a sighting in November 2024, 6 rescues and a sighting in November 2023, 6 rescues, 6 sightings and an escape in November 2022 and 9 rescues and 7 sightings in November 2021.
All rescues took place at Pelican Point.
Our top 3 entanglements for 2025 are recreational fishing lines (240, +1 this month), packaging straps (220, +1 this month) and commercial fishing lines (179, +2 this month).
