The Hawaiian Monk Seal is an endangered species native to Hawaii, primarily in its remote coastal areas.

The Hawaiian Monk Seal is one of the most endangered marine mammals and is found exclusively in the Hawaiian Islands. With fewer than 1,500 seals left, the species faces critical threats like habitat loss, disturbances from humans, climate change, and getting caught in fishing gear. These seals mainly live on the remote beaches and islands of Hawaii, where they go to rest, mate, and give birth. Conservation efforts are in progress to protect them, which include monitoring beaches, safeguarding them from predators, and conducting research on their behavior and health. The Hawaiian Monk Seal represents Hawaii's unique marine biodiversity.
