Data on direct sightings of large sharks around monk seal pupping sites and shark incidents on preweaned and newly weaned pups at French Frigate Shoals are entered on a standardized form in the field and transcribed to an excel worksheet at PIFSC. 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.

Abstract: |
Data on direct sightings of large sharks around monk seal pupping sites and shark incidents on preweaned and newly weaned pups at French Frigate Shoals are entered on a standardized form in the field and transcribed to an excel worksheet at PIFSC. 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. |
Purpose: |
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. |
