Take action now to speak up for the world’s most endangered marine mammal: the Hawaiian monk seal. The federal government has proposed to expand habitat protections to include important foraging areas and vast reaches of Hawaii’s coastline.
Poised to gain new habitat protections in the Hawaiian Islands, the seal’s possibility of recovery just stepped up a notch. Threatened by rising seas and disappearing food, Hawaiian monk seals are teetering on the brink of extinction. There are only about 1,000 seals left, and they need your help. Protecting habitat can reduce threats like pollution and development because it ensures that projects with federal funding or permits won’t harm monk seal habitat.
