A young seal has been captured in fishing rop. As it has grown the rope has cut into its body leaving deep wounds to its neck. The suffering and pain can be seen on it as it screems in pain, getting worse as it grows. The seal was found as i photographed seals at Donna Nook in Lincolnshire. The local Wildlife Trust was called and the seal sanctuary aswell. I stayed with the seal until they arrived. It was cut free treated with pain meds and anti biotics and allowed to go free. I stayed a few hours and watched it return to its large group. This is not an unusual occurance and shows the things we leave in the sea have a profound impact upon wildlife. this one was lucky, others will be less so.
La foto, scattata sulle coste del Lincolnshire (Regno Unito), mette in evidenza uno dei principali problemi dei mari e degli oceani: la presenza silenziosa di reti da pesca abbandonate.
640,000 tonnellate di reti da pesca vengono abbandonate o perse ogni anno e rappresentano circa il 10% dei rifiuti di plastica presenti nei mari e negli oceani.
