Marine plastic isn't just ugly, it does real harm.
In this video from the Vancouver Aquarium, Ocean Wise head veterinarian Dr. Martin Haulena and the Marine Mammal Rescue centre team disentangle sea lions from marine plastic.
Dr. Haulena is the only professionally trained veterinarian in Canada able to disentangle sea lions from marine debris. Over the past two decades, he’s helped develop a precise drug combination to temporarily sedate a sea lion so it may be carefully handled.
The procedure to remove the entangled gear often takes place in the water, from a boat, with a floating animal. Success depends upon ideal weather and ocean conditions, requires specialized equipment, a team of expert staff, and boat support from Fisheries and Oceans Canada. The cost for just the Vancouver Aquarium team and gear is about $2,000 per rescue.
People can also help by picking up litter and debris from shorelines, to prevent it from getting in the aquatic ecosystem in the first place.
