Seals To Receive Protection In North America

"Our scientists undertook an extensive review of the best scientific and commercial data. They concluded that a significant decrease in sea ice is probable later this century and that these changes will likely cause these seal populations to decline," said Jon Kurland, Protected Resources Director for the Alaska region of NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service.

“The Obama administration has to take decisive action, right now, against greenhouse gas pollution to preserve a world filled with ice seals, walruses and polar bears," the Centre's Climate Science Director, Shaye Wolf, said in a statement.
