Dear Friend,

Sign our letter to the National Marine Fisheries Service today to help protect the Hawaiian monk seal.

The Hawaiian monk seal has called the Hawaiian Island chain its home for millions of years but the population of this magnificent marine animal is falling. It’s up to us to protect the places this animal calls home and hunts for food if it’s going to have a fighting chance and vibrant future.

Please sign our letter urging the National Marine Fisheries Service to expand the critical habitat of the monk seal so it includes the main Hawaiian Islands.

Most monk seals are found in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and the numbers of seals in these remote islands are falling. Scientists, however, have recorded more and more monk seals using the beaches of the main Hawaiian Islands - which is why these areas need to be designated as “critical habitat.”

Designating these areas as critical habitat lets people know how important they are to the survival of monk seals. It can also encourage everyone to work together for the sake of the monk seal.

Don’t delay, sign our letter to the National Marine Fisheries Service today! It’s time to recognize that protecting habitat for sea creatures like the Hawaiian monk seal is a win-win for all, helping ensure the survival of sea animals and enriching our own lives as we live together in delicate balance.

Let’s start a sea change.

Aloha,

Vicki Cornish
Vice President, Marine Wildlife Conservation
