Online Lecture: The Mediterranean monk seal, the rarest pinniped in the world |
The Mediterranean monk seal, once abundant and widely distributed, is the rarest pinniped in the world today with no more than 800 individuals globally. Greece hosts over 50% of its remaining population in the last stronghold of the species in the Mediterranean. MOm/ Hellenic Society for the Study and Protection of the Mediterranean Monk Seal has been studying this enigmatic species for over 30 years. This presentation is a summary of knowledge gained on its biology and on results achieved in its conservation. Kimon Koemtzopoulos is a marine biologist (MSc) specializing in marine mammals, specifically the dolphins of Greece and the Mediterranean Monk Seal. For the past 5 years Kimon has been working for MOm/ Hellenic Society for the Study and protection of the Mediterranean Monk Seal, a non-profit NGO established in 1988 active in marine conservation through the study and protection of the emblematic Mediterranean monk seal. The lecture will be presented in English. HOW TO PARTICIPATE |
