2707 Data Set Published / External 6784 HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Population Assessment Data Project In Work 1981-01-01 This data set contains records for all tags applied to Hawaiian monk seals since 1981. These tags were applied by PSD personnel and cooperating scientists as part of the ongoing monk seal population assessment efforts. In addition, this data set contains tagging records for all seals that were tagged by USFWS in earlier years, and still present in the population when the current research effort began. These tagging records extend as far back as 1967. The remainder of the USFWS tagging data (data for seals that disappeared prior to the inception of the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program) are housed at PIFSC in paper form. 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. Tagging seals provides a method of individual identification, facilitating the collection of life history information.
