Both northern and southern elephant seals are considered 'threatened,' meaning they could become endangered in the future. However, all marine mammals are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972.

Yes some seals are endangered. Hawaiian monk seals (M. schauinslandi) are critically endangered. There are only 310 Saimaa ringed seals (Pusa hispida saimensis) left. There are so few of Lacs des Loups Marins harbor seal (a.k.a. Ungava seals, P.v. mellonae) that no one is sure of the numbers. Mediterranean monk seals (Monachus monachus) are endangered as well.

Elephant seals are in danger because they are threatened by people today also. They swim in water and the water is also not safe, as it is polluted. A smaller species, the northern elephant seals, live in the Pacific Ocean, disappeared from Baja, California and Alaska. Both northern and southern elephant seals were once hunted nearly to extinction.
