The Monk Seal Cave was named after the Mediterranean Monk Seal (lat. Monachus monachus), a species which used to reside in the waters around Bisevo island. Since Vis archipelago is thriving in fish population and the caves offered monk seals protection and rest, as well as the spawning ground, this area was ideal to support a Mediterranean Monk Seal population.
