Seal Talk

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has proposed actions to help preserve the endangered Hawaiian monk seals.  Below, students reflect on how they feel about the native species and human interactions with them.



We should all come together and protect the Hawaiian Monk seals. Without our help the next generations would be without Hawaiian Monk seals. They wouldn’t get to experience what we did with them. I hope that everyone can just forget what bad things they do and find a way to help them out.
