Scientists have warned about an unusual outbreak of rabies among seals in the Benguela Current ecosystem, while a virus has also been found in sardines off the South African coast.
The Benguela Current ecosystem is shared by Namibia, Angola, and South Africa.
The increase in the number of seals in the population threatens the fish species in the Namibian waters, hence the need to control them.
The Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources has warned the public to refrain from approaching wandering seals in public spaces or on beaches because they are dangerous.
Seals use the period from November to February to gather at specific spots along the coast to breed and mate.
