Mar 25, 2009· Comment from Cleo Collins, Center for Biological Diversity· NOAA-NMFS-2008-0241-6712

Mr. James Wilder, Protected Resources Division, National Marine Fisheries Service: I strongly support the listing of ringed, spotted, and bearded seal under the Endangered Species Act due to threats from global warming. The scientific evidence that these ice seals are threatened with extinction from rapid sea-ice melt due to global warming is overwhelming. The Arctic sea-ice habitat that these seals depend on for giving birth and rearing their pups is rapidly disappearing. Arctic summer sea-ice could disappear completely by the year 2012. Our government's failure to curb greenhouse gas pollution is a primary cause of the ice seals' melting habitat. It is not too late to give ice seals back their future, but we must act quickly to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and slow global warming. For these reasons I request that you propose the listing of the ringed, bearded, and spotted seal, and identify greenhouse gas pollution as the primary threat to their continued existence. Sincerely,

Mr. James Wilder, Protected Resources Division, National Marine Fisheries Service: Please list the ringed, spotted, and bearded seal under the Endangered Species Act due to threats from global warming. Of course we all know we must cut green house gases right away. But in the meantime, you must save the seals before it is too late. Put them on the Endangered Species list and then let's all get busy get rid of the main problem for them. Destruction of habitat from human activity, namely producing green-house gases! Thank you for your consideration.

Mr. James Wilder, Protected Resources Division, National Marine Fisheries Service: I strongly support the listing of ringed, spotted, and bearded seal under the Endangered Species Act due to threats from global warming. They are nearing extinction from sea-ice melt, as shown by scientific studies. Arctic summer sea-ice could disappear completely by the year 2012. Please propose listing the ringed, bearded, and spotted seal, and identify greenhouse gas pollution as the primary threat to their continued existence. Thank you.

Mr. James Wilder, Protected Resources Division, National Marine Fisheries Service: List the ringed, spotted, and bearded seals under the Endangered Species Act as they are imminently threatened -- scientifically proven, by global warming. Their birthing beds of sea ice could disappear completely by the year 2012. If we reduce greenhouse gas pollution by legislative action, we could still protect these cuties. Please list the ringed, bearded, and spotted seal, as endangered and identify greenhouse gas pollution as the primary threat to their continued existence. Sincerely,

Mar 25, 2009· Comment from Jenny O'Neil, Center for Biological Diversity· NOAA-NMFS-2008-0241-16483

Dear Mr. Wilder, Please accept my comments regarding ice seals, including ringed, spotted, and bearded seals. The scientific evidence that these seals are threatened with extinction from rapid sea-ice melt due to global warming is overwhelming. Our government's failure to curb greenhouse gas pollution is a primary cause of this ice-melt. It is not too late to give ice seals back their future, but we must act quickly to reduce greenhouse gas pollution and slow global warming. I kindly urge you to propose the listing of ringed, bearded, and spotted seals under the Endangered Species Act and identify greenhouse gas pollution as the primary threat to their continued existence. Thank you,
