Endangered Monk Seal

There are approximately 1,200 Hawaiian monk seals that live around the tiny, uninhabited islands and atolls of Northwestern Hawaiian islands.

There are at least 30 Hawaiian monk seals in the beaches of Kaua 'i.

The Hawaiian monk seal is one of the endangered species on earth. If you ever see one on the beach, please remember that it is in it's native habitat.

Never approach a monk seal on the beach. Leave them be.

You may take a picture with a considerable distance like 100 feet away. Do it unobtrusively. Leave the flash off.
