Seal with piece of net
PAY ATTENTION!! THIS MOVIE CONTAINS BLOODY IMAGES.
The Seal Sanctuary Terschelling is committed to injured or sick seals. After a report, employees of the shelter take action to pick up the seal. Sick seals usually go to the Pieterburen SRRC. Seals that can be looked after on the island stay on Terschelling until they are fit enough to be released. For the rescue of seals on the sandbanks of Terschelling, it is usually selfless to call upon Rederij Noordgat. Arjen de Boer of shipping company Noordgat has been doing the seal work for years and is experienced in catching and freeing seals from nets. Guus Schweigmann of the Seal Sanctuary Terschelling is present at most catches. Unfortunately, the seal rescuer of the first hour Hessel Wiegman has passed away. Fortunately, there are several people who have taken over his good work. The gray seal in the film is involved in a part of a so-called ghost net, part of a standing wall net. The fine nylon threads often cut deep into the meat. In general, the seals recover from the sometimes serious wounds.
