7,000 Cape fur seals are found dead in Namibia. They were discovered at a breeding colony in central Namibia. A conservationist Naude Dreyer of the charity Ocean Conservation Namibia (OCN) began noticing dead seals. He said he saw them on the sandy beaches of Pelican Point colony. It is a tourist destination known for its colony of seals and schools of dolphins. It is situated near Walvis Bay city in September.
In the first fortnight of October, he found large numbers of seal foetuses at the colony. Tess Gridley from the Namibian Dolphin Project found an estimation that between 5,000 and 7,000 female seals had miscarried young with more still being found. Last week, there was a spike within the number of dead adult females, Dreyer said.
