sebastianvettel Today, I learned a lot about harbor porpoises and had the opportunity to meet scientists at the Ozeaneum in Stralsund who are committed to protecting the Baltic Sea and the harbor porpoises that still live there. It touched me to see how little we know about our only native whale and how quietly it is disappearing from the Baltic Sea. Harbour porpoises are not only incredibly sensitive animals, they are part of us, our nature, and our history. It would be a great loss if one day we had to say, “They no longer exist.”

sebastianvettel We are in Stralsund (Germany), on the Baltic Sea coast, and today we are visiting the Ozeaneum. Today we are focusing on harbor porpoises.

English Translation from Caption ↴

Prof. Dr. Judith Denkinger: "The harbor porpoise is one of the smallest toothed whale species. It is a very social animal. Like all toothed whales, it is a very intelligent animal."

Franziska Saalmann (Greenpeace): "The harbor porpoise is highly endangered in Germany, and in German seas, in parts of the Baltic Sea, it is even threatened with extinction. This is mainly due to fishing, underwater noise and pollution."

Sebastian Vettel: "In the long term, I believe that with the basin behind us, we can see how beautiful diversity can be and what it means to lose that diversity. I think it would be a great shame, especially for future generations."

Prof. Dr. Judith Denkinger: "We only have about 450 animals left, down from around 40-50,000."

Lisa Klemens (German Oceanographic Museum): "This is an endangered species, which is why we are looking at what caused the animal’s death. So that we can simply take better protective measures. Simply prevent more animals from dying from this cause. We can look at what the whale ate. We can already tell if it was contaminated with heavy metals or other pollutants. In short, we can completely reconstruct the life of this whale. Science is a bit more abstract, active nature conservation."

Sebastian Vettel: "The underwater microphones are there to locate and detect the animals. Where there is a lot or less activity, and with the help of the data, to draw attention to where it might make sense to set up protected areas. For me it was really exciting. I was able to learn a lot and meet many people who dedicate part of their lives to harbor porpoises. And if you want to get involved, if you want to help, then talk about it, spread the word, ask questions. Maybe visit the Ozeaneum here in Stralsund. At Greenpeace, you can find lots of other NGOs and associations. Get informed and talk about it. I think that’s the very first step and the most important step. There aren’t many animals left and they depend on our help."

Do you think Sebastian would like being a Veterinarian? Do you think he would like it because he gets to be around kittens all the time?

Yessss! I firmly believe in vet!seb!

Sebastian loves working at the Phantomhive vet. Of course his boss is a bit of an ass and childish but it’s so worth seeing the faces of cute kittens and cats. Even if they poop on him.

He lives and breathes his job and has many kitties of his own. When he was in middle school his mom passed and left behind her cats thus making him love cats. They are a comfort to him.

He buys all the expensive things for his cats and builds his own and even make salmon and other foods for them. He’s an excellent cook.

He names every cat at the vet he works for and loves them all the same. But he has to say Mittens the black cat stole his heart
