Sea Angel

About

How sea angel lives

Sea angels are tiny swimming sea slugs that drift through cold open water. Winglike foot lobes flap gently as sea angels move through the water. Ocean animals navigate three-dimensional space, pressure, and constantly shifting currents.

Conservation

Status and habitat pressure

Stable populations still depend on habitat quality, food availability, and low human pressure. Protecting sea angel also depends on keeping ocean, polar habitats healthy and connected.

Common species still depend on habitat quality, clean water, food webs, and low disturbance.
