During these studies, live seals are instrumented with dive recorders, cell phone tags, and other instruments to determine foraging locations and dive and foraging behavior. These data document the deployment of telemetry tags on Hawaiian monk seals. 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. The purpose of telemetry studies is to define Hawaiian monk seal foraging behavior to better understand the links between environment, prey variability, and demography. underDevelopment Littnan, Charles L (808)725-5711 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA charles.littnan@noaa.gov pointOfContact Barbieri, Michelle M 808-725-5734 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA michelle.barbieri@noaa.gov pointOfContact Littnan, Charles L (808)725-5711 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA charles.littnan@noaa.gov custodian Mercer, Tracy (808)725-5718 1845 Wasp Blvd. Honolulu HI 96818 USA tracy.mercer@noaa.gov custodian irregular Hawaiian monk seal Telemetry tags theme 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.
