Caribbean Monk Seal Gone Extinct From Human Causes, NOAA Confirms
June 9, 2008 09:04 AM - National Oceanic And Atmospheric Administration
After a five year review, NOAA’s Fisheries Service has determined that the Caribbean monk seal, which has not been seen for more than 50 years, has gone extinct — the first type of seal to go extinct from human causes. Monk seals became easy targets for hunters while resting, birthing, or nursing their pups on the beach. Overhunting by humans led to these seals’ demise, according to NOAA biologists.
