Protection of marine life in Namibia

Ocean Conservation Namibia is an organization focused on protecting marine life and ecosystems along the Namibian coast. They specifically work to rescue seals that are in danger due to plastic pollution and other threats to their habitat.

Why

The ocean is one of the planet's largest natural resources, but it is increasingly threatened by pollution, particularly from plastic. In Namibia, seals are often affected by entanglement in plastic waste, severely reducing their chances of survival. Ocean Conservation Namibia was established to address these threats and protect marine biodiversity.

Impact

Mission & goals

Ocean Conservation Namibia's mission is to preserve marine life in Namibia, focusing on saving seals and tackling the plastic crisis that plagues our oceans. Their goals include reducing the impact of plastic on marine ecosystems, rescuing seals from distressed situations, and raising awareness about ocean conservation.

Actions

The organization works with local communities and international partners to rescue marine animals and combat ocean pollution. They provide direct assistance to seals that are tangled in plastic and other harmful materials, and are committed to reducing plastic pollution by supporting both prevention and recovery measures. They are also active in raising awareness and educating about the impacts of pollution on marine life.

“Every seal rescue is a step closer to restoring our ocean, but we need much more help to bring about real change.”
