Monachus monachus, Mediterranean Monk Seal
The Mediterranean Monk Seal has rebounded from critically endangered status, but unpredictable threats exist, including disease, toxic algal blooms, cave collapses, pollution, and climate change. Greece supports a growing range of habitat for the monk seal, but the government must prioritize conservation efforts to protect them. Fisheries contribute to the pollution that threatens this species.
