Meeting on the North Shore....

Aloha Good People~

Volunteers from both pupping sites on the North Shore attended a meeting on Thursday evening. It was very cool to have that many passionate monk seal volunteers sitting in one room. David Schofield from NOAA gave the overview presentation on volunteering and dealing with the public. Also we heard from a DLNR representative (Earl) he addressed the gill net incident that took place in the past couple of weeks. (and with DB's relentless efforts the incident ended up in an arrest).

The best news I heard ... one of the volunteers working from the University that is involved in researching the genealogical lines of the seals... did say upon the gathering of DNA from the pups and she having Chester's DNA she should be able to determine his offspring. (It may take some time BUT we will have this information at some point & I apologize for not remembering her name).
