| Hawaiian Monk Seal |
Inside a partially underwater cave which leads out to the ocean I encountered one of the rarest sea creatures on Earth. Less than 2000 Hawaiian monk seals remain around the Hawaiian islands. These intelligent and curious animals are so few in number that a massive protection effort has been put in place. Volunteers help tape off beach areas where the seals rest and vast tracks of the northwest Hawaiian islands has been turned into a protected area called the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.
