5679 Data Set Published / External 6784 HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Population Assessment Data Project In Work 1982-01-01 This data set contains records of survival factors recorded by PSD personnel and cooperating scientists as part of the ongoing monk seal population assessment efforts, and some miscellaneous earlier records extending back as far as 1977. Survival factors are defined as any unique event, or series of events that may affect the survival of an individual seals. Data are recorded for all deaths, probable deaths, suspicious disappearances, and moderate to severe injuries. Other recorded events include entanglement, observed male aggression, emaciation, ill or abnormal condition, oiling, or a seal out of habitat. Most data (since 1996) have been entered, however much of the older data 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. The survival factor data are our primary record of information on factors that effect the survival of individual seals.
