Volunteers sought to help count monk seals

Advertiser Staff

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is looking for interested groups or individuals to participate in a Hawaiian monk seal count from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow.

The goal is to have volunteers and community members counting monk seals on the same date and time on each of the main Hawaiian Islands.

Volunteers will be assigned to a beach location and asked to fill out a sightings form. Digital images of seals will also be very important to send to NOAA.

Interested parties should contact Patricia Boehm at 261-4238 or patiemoose@hotmail.com.
