This project investigates foraging behavior of Hawaiian monk seals by conducting telemetry studies. During these studies, live seals are instrumented with dive recorders, crittercams, and other instruments to determine foraging locations and dive and foraging behavior.

* 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. The purpose of telemetry studies is to define Hawaiian monk seal foraging behavior to better understand the links between environment, prey variability, and demography.

» If Distributor (Data Hosting Service) is Needed, Please Indicate  
» Approximate Delay Between Data Collection and Dissemination 1 Year
» If Delay is Longer than Latency of Automated Processing, Indicate Under What Authority Data Access is Delayed
» Actual or Planned Long-Term Data Archive Location To Be Determined
» If To Be Determined, Unable to Archive, or No Archiving Intended, Explain

The size and amount of video is very large. Need to determine best place to house video for storage size and accessibility. Also working with National Geographic as they have partial ownership of the data as well.
