Double Your Impact for an Endangered Seal

With fewer than 2,000 Hawaiian monk seals left, each one needs us now more than ever. In honor of Endangered Species Day this month, your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000—doubling your impact for these endangered animals—when you donate by Thursday, May 15.

Right now, these two Hawaiian monk seals are at our hospital and depend on caring people like you to help provide the meals, meds and care they need for a second chance. You can be their hope with your matched gift today.

Double my impact!

Book a Tour to Meet Our Patients

This patient is a Guadalupe fur seal, a species that we have rescued in increasing numbers over recent years. As a species that lives in the open ocean, these fur seals rarely come to shore except for when they are sick or injured. 

Changing ocean conditions, domoic acid toxicosis and entanglement are the main drivers of stranding in this species.
