Honolulu Star-Bulletin Hawaii News: "Another seal, RM34, born on the Big Island, has recently been relocated twice. Swimmers in Kealakekua Bay said they were 'nipped and groped' by the seal Oct. 17, prompting wildlife officials to move it Oct. 20 to South Point, its birth area. By last weekend the seal was back at Kealakekua Bay.
On Tuesday, RM34 was taken by boat to Kahoolawe in hopes that the island's small population of seals and lack of humans might prove a suitable new home, said Jeff Walters, a biologist with the state Division of Aquatic Resources."
