1. Endangered and Threatened Species; Proposed Rule to Remove the Caribbean Monk Seal from the Federal List of
PROPOSED RULES: Caribbean Monk Seal,
We, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), have
reviewed the status of the Caribbean monk seal (Monachus tropicalis)
and conclude that the species is extinct. As a result, based on the
best available information, we propose to delist the Caribbean monk
seal under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
