5-Year Review for the Mediterranean Monk Seal
Summary
We are required by the Endangered Species Act to conduct 5-year reviews of all listed species. The 5-year review must be based on the best scientific and commercial data available at the time of the review. We previously requested submission of any such information on this species, particularly information on its status, threats, and recovery, that has become available since its last 5-year review. We have completed 5-year reviews, which are available on the links below. We conclude that no change to the listing status is warranted at this time.
