ALOHA & Thank You!

I would like to take this opportunity for the Monk Seal community to acknowledge some of our comrades. According to DB there are many people that contribute the care of our Oahu monk seals and often times we just don't know who they are. Unfortunately we are saying good bye to some that have been contributing information for some time.

KAREN HARRIS has made endless treks out to Ka'ena Point and has provided information that is included in DB's Dailies. I know DB will miss her and although I have only spoken to Karen once I know her leaving the islands will create a huge gap in the information that comes from Ka'ena Point. HOWEVER, we do wish Karen well and hope that her next adventure will be fulfilling.... and if it isn't the monk seals will be waiting for you.

MARY FRANCES also will be leaving the Hawaiian Islands in September. Again someone who is out there on the front lines protecting our seals and making a huge contribution in time and caring. All of us in the monk seal community will miss you and wish you the very best.
