It’s Sea Otter Awareness Week!

Southern sea otter pup Langly became an orphan when she was too young to survive on her own. Staff and volunteers cared for her at our hospital, preparing meals six times a day until she was old enough to be released back to her ocean home.

Virtually adopt Langly to help sea otter pups like her!

This patient is a Hawaiian monk seal, the most endangered marine mammal species in the United States. As a species endemic to Hawai´i, they can only be found in the Main Hawaiian Islands and the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands. 

We often see stranded monk seals suffering from malnutrition or maternal separation. Other common threats this species faces are disease, predation, entanglement and negative human interactions.
