Summary[edit] Description: The Hawaiian monk seal may have colonized the Hawaiian Islands as early as 10 million years ago, but today this seal is one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world, with only about 1300 remaining in the wild. Most Hawaiian monk seals now live in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, but some live in the main Hawaiian Islands, including in Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary. Young Hawaiian monk seals sometimes become entangled in plastic debris and derelict fishing nets and can drown -- so one of the best things you can do to help these endangered seals is to reduce the amount of single-use plastic you utilize and to participate in a beach cleanup near you!

These endangered seals are endemic to Hawaii. Perhaps 1100 seals currently exist (NOAA, 2010), living mostly in the uninhabited Northwest Hawaiian Islands. This 5 year old male (at time of photo) is apparently one of 2 males known to live on the Big Island (NOAA, 2013). He was basking on this beach on the windward side of the Big Island when this photo was taken in the morning. I spotted the other Big Island male basking on a gravel bar in Kiholo Bay on the leeward side of the Big Island in March, 2013 (9 years old at time of obs.).
