Editing Caribbean monk seal (section)

==Habitat==
Caribbean monk seals were found in warm temperate, subtropical and tropical waters of the [[Caribbean Sea]], [[Gulf of Mexico]], and the western Atlantic Ocean. They probably preferred to haul out at low sandy beaches above high tide on isolated and secluded [[atoll]]s and islands, but occasionally would visit the mainland coasts and deeper waters offshore. This species may have fed in shallow [[lagoon]]s and [[reef]]s.<ref name=NOAA />
