Weekly: Monk Seal Seminar Series - Sheraton Kauai Resort
Sightings of the Hawaiian Monk Seal, a highly endangered marine mammal, are found in Kauai's Poipu Beach area, almost on a daily basis. The volunteers of the Monk Seal Watch organization often donate their time on the beaches where the seals haul out to rest after a night of foraging in the ocean. Volunteers help guard against the animals being disturbed This group of volunteers is particularly active when a Monk Seal pup has been born and spends six weeks on the beach with its mother. A weekly seminar is offered at the Sheraton Kauai Resort in Poipu by the Monk Seal Watch organization to help educate visitors about the species and the importance of protecting it. Monk seal seminars take place most often on Wednesdays in the late afternoon. For more information, contact the Sheraton Kauai Resort.
