See where seals are protected and how you can help
When we see seals resting on the shores we share, it’s easy to forget that our actions have upended their world. But we can choose to change it for the better: More than 100 facilities and projects work to protect seals and their habitats. The Seal Signal connects you to their efforts with a map of care centers and experts ready to respond when seals need help, as individuals or entire populations. Start exploring to find out where your support could make a difference!
