#USA 🇺🇸 #Hi! 🌺 In all my decades of visiting #Hawaii, this was the first time I saw a #monkseal (make that two!). #keepingmydistance Here’s what @NOAA has to say 👉Hawaiian Monk Seal | NOAA Fisheries https://t.co/ns1veSH9FN @GovHawaii @NOAAFisheries #seal #seals #sealtwitter

This monk seal doesn't need a reservation to visit Wai'anapanapa. Please keep your distance anytime you see a #monkseal or #seaturtle as they're protected (and need their rest.)

If reincarnation is a thing, I hope I come back as a Monk Seal. #Waikiki #Hawaii #Oahu #MonkSeal #Honolulu #Paradise

Keep your distance at Kaimana Beach. Beach fenced off/ closed.. Police monitoring for people getting too close to Hawaiian monk seals 🦭 . Kaiwi and pup it’s a girl. #monkseal #hawaii #kaimanabeach #oahu #monksealhawaii

New baby Monk Seal born last night! #Kaimana Beach will be closed off for the next 5-7 weeks… #Waikiki #Oahu #Hawaii #MonkSeal

All go on the beach yesterday: this 7ft beauty is a Hawaiian monk seal and an endangered species, protected by state law. A man in a canoe told me she’s well-known for appearing randomly in this area (and often tips his boat!). Incredible. #hawaii #monkseal #travel #wildlife #sup

Made this over the weekend with @yyoha_ and MonkSeal for Ludum Dare 55. Had an absolute blast working on this with the team, really love their art works ❤️ #madewithunity #gamedev #indiegame #ludumdare

How do we track the monk seal, one of the most elusive endangered animals? @AlexDainis explains how scientists are using Environmental DNA, which is DNA animals shed throughout their environment to create a map of where monk seals reside. #Science #EndangeredSpecies #MonkSeal

#MonkSeal Visiting Kauai this past week...walking along the shore picking up micro plastics... I walked right up to a monk seal sleeping/resting. I posted the nearby warning signs and placed sticks around it so it could rest peacefully on the shore. Stood guard for 3hrs

The Hawaiian name for Hawaiian Monk Seals is "'īlio holo i ka uaua," translating to 'dog that runs in rough water.' Discover how rare it is to see a Hawaiian Monk Seal 🦭 ! #HawaiianMonkSeals #MonkSeal #Wailea #Maui #Molokini #Makena

Brain turned OFF on that one 🥲 #monkseal #seamonk #daycareteacher #mybad #neurodivergent #aapi

Last week Kaiwi (RK96) pupped at Kaimana Beach; the third offspring she’s delivered there. Monk seal births in Waikīkī draw crowds, and distance is crucial for everyone’s safety — humans and animals, alike. Designated beach access has been established. #monkseal #kaimanabeach

Aloha Friday (3.22.24): For the 3rd straight day, a Hawaiian Monk Seal came up onto the shoreline to take a quick nap and then went on its way in the early morning hours. #HawaiiSeaGrant #soest #HBEP #HanaumaBayEducationProgram #MLCD #protectedspecies #endemicspecies #MonkSeal
