Popis

This data set contains records for all tags applied to Hawaiian monk seals since 1981. These tags were applied by PSD personnel and cooperating scientists as part of the ongoing monk seal population assessment efforts. In addition, this data set contains tagging records for all seals that were tagged by USFWS in earlier years, and still present in the population when the current research effort began. These tagging records extend as far back as 1967. The remainder of the USFWS tagging data (data for seals that disappeared prior to the inception of the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program) are housed at PIFSC in paper form.
