Dear Marine Mammal List Members Apologies if you receive this more than once but, given its importance to monk seals, I thought members would be interested in the most recent publication (today) in the conservation journal Endangered Species Research (ESR): Baker JD, Littnan CL, Johnston DW (2006) Endangered Species Research Number 4 Potential effects of sea level rise on the terrestrial habitats of endangered and endemic megafauna of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands It looks at one of the key cross-cutting themes of the journal ie climate change and how potential sea level rise may impact monk seals, birds and sea turtles in the biologically rich NW Hawaiian islands. The paper can be downloaded free of charge at the journal website: http://www.int-res.com/journals/esr/contents/ It follows the recent publication of: McGowan A, Broderick AC, Gore S, Hilton G, Woodfield NK, Godley BJ (2006) Endangered Species Research Number 3 Breeding seabirds in the British Virgin Islands.
