September 5, 2026 Saturday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:27 to 2:31 pm and there were three seals seen during that time.

Again on the Lanikai side of LPB was weaner PO13: large weaner size, light female belly, not yet tagged/

About 1/3 of the distance between the 3BS and SRI was a Juvenile Female: juvenile size, old coat with lots of green, female belly and two red tags.

Out on RRB was RP24 Mohala (RF34 Pua's 2021 female Rabbit

Island pup) adult size, new coat, female belly with some apparent scars and the nb on her LFF. She also appears to have a small nb on the tip of her RFF. She looks healthy and Marilyn was happy to see her.

Team R&B's first find was on the west side near the rest camp. It was a clean adult size seal foraging. They could not come up with an ID.

The place was packed with people.

On their way out of the area they thought they saw a seal. When they went to look they were surprised to see RU22, female born on Molokai in 2025. She is looking a little thin but okay. There were people near her, so Team R&B walked over to talk with them and call the hotline.  They got to their car to park at another spot and by the time they got out they saw a volunteer finally putting up signs. 

Next they headed over to plains and the place was packed, especially

with Access Surf there.  There was RT06 Marvin resting in a zone, with a telephone pole on shore. He used it to lean on for security like KP2 in 2009. 

Lastly they checked other beaches and didn't find any more seals. But they did see dolphins way out doing what they do best.  The surf is big and dangerous.

Out on the west side Team R&B saw a seal on shore by the zen. They could see this seal is really green like the color of romaine lettuce.  They believe it is RL20 and they did see tags. But he took off and went around the rocks. 

While on the west side they spotted a second seal in the water. Seal had a clean coat, like it recently molted. They didn't see tags/ This unknown adult met up with the green seal (RL20). The two of them

went all over the place even over to the  rest camp side and then back to the jetty side. 

Team R&B think the U/A is a female, and noted a snout scar.  The two of them took off and neither of them landed.

Heading over to plains they were pleasantly surprised to see two males on shore. They were in different zones, thankful to the lifeguards.  The first to be ID'd was RT06 Marvin, looking adorable as always. The other seal was by the cabins, they ID'd as R407 Kawika.

Heading back to the west side they stopped by the outfall. Their mystery green seal was there foraging. They still are unable to get an ID, and I know it must be driving them crazy.

At another west side location they spotted a small green seal, sub adult size and female belly. They tried for an hour to get a positive ID, trying different angles. They thought the tag read U04 but they couldn't be sure. Reported as an Unknown Sub-adult Female.

September 3. 2026 Thursday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:40 to 2:00 pm and there were four seals seen during that time. She would have stayed longer but the waves were splashing on the pier rocks and she didn't want to get the camera wet.

Alone on LPB was weaner PO13 : large weaner size, light female belly, no tags yet. She entered the water sometime around 1:00 pm. NOAA hopes to get to tag her at some point, but the weather has not been cooperating.

Between Middle Cliff and the 3BS was a Weaner Unknown: weaner size, some yellow in coat, sex not determined, at least two tags.

Down from the 3BS was a Sub-adult Female: Marilyn has been labeling it as a S/F but isn't sure of size or sex, has a new coat, light

belly and at least two tags.

Between the 3BS and SRI was a Weaner Female: weaner size, some yellow in coat, female belly and at least two red tags.

Team R&B spotted a seal foraging at rest camp. No details to ID so its reported as an Unknown Adult.

Next they headed over to plains and found one seal on shore. It was the handsome old dude R407 Kawika. They were happy to see him, too bad RT06 wasn't there too.

Another short and sweet day.
