Title: | HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Photo Collections (ID, Survival Factors) |
---|---|
Status: | In Work |
Abstract: |
This photo collection contains identification and other images and video of Hawaiian monk seals taken by PSD personnel and cooperating scientists as part of the ongoing monk seal population assessment efforts since at least 1982, with some miscellaneous photos extending as far back as 1977. Images were primarily black and white print or color slides prior to 2001 when the first digital cameras were sent to the field. Searchable digital photo databases were developed for each location in 2002 and were in near final form by 2003 and contain individual ID photos, survival factors, necropsy photos, archives, and miscellaneous images. |
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. Hawaiian monk seal photo data collection is an important tool for individual identification of seals and to document survival factors, including deaths, and other noteworthy events. |
