Monk seal moved again


By MAILE CANNON/ West Hawaii Today


A monk seal, already once removed from Kealakekua Bay, is in captivity again and en route to a new undisclosed location after reappearing at the snorkeling site over the weekend.

Authorities hope the latest attempt to relocate the seal will be effective in reintegrating it into its natural habitat and are calling on the public to help.

"These are wild animals and people need to leave them alone," said Margaret Akamine, of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration.

The manager of the protected resources division of the NOAA Fisheries Pacific Islands regional office said the endangered seal has been interacting with people and such behavior is detrimental to the animal and people.

The seal weighs 300 pounds and is about 3 years old, she added.

The seal was captured last week in Kealakekua Bay and returned to its birth place near South Point. Authorities began looking for the seal when radio signals from its transmitter tag stopped, Akamine said.

Relative to human development, the seal is a teenager, Akamine said. It's necessary for the seal to interact with seals its own age to properly develop and interaction with people stints that process, she said.

The options of places to relocate the seal are limited, Akamine said, and if the seal continues to interact with people it may have be kept in captivity. In an attempt to thwart the seal's efforts to get friendly with people, she said, its new locale is not being disclosed.

The estimated 1,200 to 1,400 Hawaiian monk seal population is protected by the federal Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, Akamine said. It is a crime to harass or interact with them, she added.
