HMSRP Hawaiian Monk Seal Population Assessment Data
Project
In Work
2018-02-26
This data set documents locations and location codes used in monk seal data collection as part of the ongoing monk seal population assessment efforts. Information includes atolls, islets within each atoll, sectors valid for each islet, and GPS coordinates. Sectors for the six main breeding locations in the NWHI were established in 1982 at the beginning of concerted data collection by this project, and have remained fairly constant with the exception of boundary changes at Lisianski and Midway in 1992, and islet coding changes at Kure in 1994. In recent years sectors have also been established for the main Hawaiian islands.
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 islands/sectors data documents locations and location codes used in all PSD monk seal data collection.

A Two character abbreviation of the ISLAND name which is used as part of the PSEUDO-PERM ID. This code is concatenated to a two-digit year (ex: 09) to form the 4 character prefix of a pseudo-perm ID (temporary permid). These 4 characters are prepended to a 4 character "temp" created by left padding the user-entered "TEMP ID" with sufficient Zeros to 4 characters, thus creating the (required) 8 character PSEUDO-PERM ID. Example of a PSEUDO_PERM ID would be "MD0900K5", which represents a seal identified at Midway in 2009 by the temp id number K5.
