August 19. 2026 Wednesday's Dailies

Todays dailies are brought to you by Marilyn and Team R&B💕

Marilyn noted a correction based on input from NOAA the seal she has ID'd as R416 on Monday and Tuesday was in fact R430 formerly Temp 25.

She viewed Rabbit Island from 12:10 to 2:10 pm and there were six seals seen during that time.

Alone out on LPB was recent weaner PO13, who you can see her huge size.

Near the 3BS was a weaner labeled Weaner Female: weaner size, light female belly, and three red tags.

Not far away was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, old coat with lots of green and two tags.

The JF was visited by two larger seals:

Adult Male: adult size, golden male belly possibly with some darker patches and two tags.

Sub-adult Male: sub-adult to small adult size, newer coat, male belly

and two red tags.

Out on RRB was a Weaner Unknown: weaner size, newer coat light belly and not sure about sex or tags.

Team R&B first finds were by the outfall. They spotted a green seal foraging but it seemed like it was in a hurry. Then all of sudden the adult green seal came towards them and as it passed a second was was seen. Both seals headed in the KoOlina direction. They thought maybe the larger seal was Aukai RL12.

They decided to make their way to paradise cove and their friend told them one seal had hauled out and the other took off in the channel.  The seal on shore was Aukai RL12, who is fat and green.

Then Team R&B saw another seal coming around the lagoon and came into the area looking around. It was R3CX Nalu, who they hadn't seen for awhile. Aukai looked at him, and Nalu left swimming towards Luau side where people were in the water. Their friend called out to the people to be alert of the seal. Nalu came back to Aukai, once more then disappeared and Aukai stayed. 

Next stop was at plains. They found RT06 Marvin up on shore in a zone. He was resting and seemed to be more comfortable than the past few days of flip flopping in the sand.

They searched several beaches looking for more seals, on their last stop there were no seals but lots of turtles. One was so big and it had an applied bleach number RM24.  What a nice way to end the day.
