Oceanarium - The Bournemouth Aquarium supporting conservation

In 2010, the Oceanarium and all of Parques Reunidos sites across the world including Blackpool Zoo and Lakes Aquarium choose to raise as much money as possible to help the most endangered marine mammal left on the planet, the monk seal. The CBD-Habitat Mauritania Monk Seal Conservation Project with the help from money raised have been able to continue their work monitoring the Monk Seal population in the Mediterranean, identifying key threats to their survival and educating locals about seal conservation. The results are starting to show, with monk seals beginning to reoccupy lost habitat in the Capo Blanco Peninsula.
However the monk seals battle to get off the endangered species list is proving to be a difficult one, and they still need help. Because of this we have decided to continue our support for these beautiful creatures for the whole of 2011. With your help we can really make a difference.
