Monk Seal Mom and Pup

Two monk seals sleeping on rocks

The beaches at Kalaupapa have all the characteristics of favorable pupping locations - plenty of shallow areas protected from big waves and predators and minimal human disturbance. If you see seals in Kalaupapa, or anywhere, give them plenty of space, and do not swim if they are on the beach. This photo was taken by a biological science technician whose monitoring and photography was conducted under NMFS Permit #22677. Photo was taken with a telephoto lens.
