Monk seals in the Mediterranean and Hawaii are gravely endangered, and the Caribbean population of monk seals was declared extinct in 1996. Hawaiian monk seals are believed to be the only population that has a chance of recovery, so scientists are working hard to study the species' habitat and behaviours.

Students will use the Internet to learn about monk seal research and the ecosystem reserve that's been established in part to protect the seals. They'll consider the particular challenges scientists face in studying monk seals on projects such as crittercam, and they will write questions they would ask if they were conducting monk seal research. The students will conclude by writing plans they would use on a trip to study the Hawaiian monk seal.
