Video: Helping a seal in need

Video: Helping a seal in need By Two Oceans Aquarium / 3 February 2012

Last week, we told you about the work that Two Oceans Aquarium staff members are doing with injured seals at the V&A Waterfront. Simon Leigh then very kindly submitted this video, which he filmed while working with us during his holiday. It shows how Two Oceans Aquarium Assistant Technical Manager Vincent Calder’s special hook contraption is used to remove harmful noose-like items from seals. We love how happy the seal looks once it’s freed!

Catching up with the Aquarium’s seal rescue team By Stuart Dickinson / 26 January 2012

If you’re a regular visitor to Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, you may have seen Cape fur seals entangled in plastic, fishing line or other waste, some of them severely wounded by pollution. Luckily, a helping hand (or hook, in this case) is never far away. Two Oceans Aquarium Assistant Technical Manager Vincent Calder, Assistant Curator Claire Taylor and the rest of the Two Oceans Aquarium seal rescue team are braving the frosty harbour water to help free these seals.
