Video at Trig islet (FFS) is recorded in some years; video was systematically viewed from the 2009 monk seal breeding season and shark presence was recorded for 57 days of video. The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) is the lead agency responsible for the recovery of the Hawaiian monk seal. Each year the NMFS Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, Protected Species Division, Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program conducts studies at the main breeding sites to provide information necessary to evaluate (1) the status and trends of the monk seal subpopulations, (2) natural history traits such as survival, reproduction, growth, behavior, and feeding habits, and (3) the success of various activities designed to facilitate population growth. In recent years, Galapagoes Shark predation has become a major cause of death and injury to nursing and newly weaned Hawaiian monk seal pups at French Frigate Shoals, and studies have shown that a small subset of the Galapagoes Shark population at French Frigate Shoals frequent areas near pupping beaches. The purpose of this dataset is to describe direct sightings of large sharks around monk seal pupping sites and shark incidents on preweaned and newly weaned pups at French Frigate Shoals. underDevelopment Robinson, Stacie (808)725-5740 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96839 USA stacie.robinson@noaa.gov pointOfContact Barbieri, Michelle M 808-725-5734 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA michelle.barbieri@noaa.gov pointOfContact Robinson, Stacie (808)725-5740 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96839 USA stacie.robinson@noaa.gov custodian Barbieri, Michelle M 808-725-5734 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA michelle.barbieri@noaa.gov custodian Sullivan, Mark S (808)725-5727 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA mark.sullivan@noaa.gov custodian asNeeded hawaiian monk seal hmsrp pifsc protected species psd shark incidents shark predation mitigation shark sightings survival enhancement theme french frigate shoals hawaiian archipelago northwestern hawaiian islands pacific region place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC > Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
