The Mediterranean Seal is an unique seal who lives in hot seas. Kg A grown seal has brown and yellow mixed color and sometimes it has some points on its skin. Its food sources are some green plants, octopus and small fish. The Mediterranean Seal was once distributed through the Black Sea, Marmara Sea, Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean. Today seals are few and live in Morrocco, Algeria, Tunus, Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey, and along sea-shores in small and distributed groups.
Experts say that the Mediterranean Seal is in danger of extinction.
The main reasons are sea polution, waste from factories, agricultural poisons, occupation of their natural lands by people, wrong tourism policies, extreme fishing, and incorrect fishing techniques. Some solutions to this problem are to increase public awareness, provide true preservation policies and to provide them or give them back their natural habitat. In Antalya in Turkey there is Olimpus National Park where Mediterranean Seals can live freely and are not disturbed by people. The Mediterrenean Seal is a species that lives in danger of extinction. If people continue to abuse the environment then the seals that remain around Turkey, Greece and the Mediterrrenean are in danger of extinction.
