November 8, 2026 Monday's Dailies

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

Marilyn viewed Rabbit Island from 12:28 to 2:43 pm and there were four seals seen during that time.
Initially out on the berm on LPB was a Sub-adult Male: large juvenile to small sub-adult size, probably male, two tags, about 35% molted on the ventral side, dorsal still shows old coat.
About 30 feet Lanikai side of the 1BS was an Adult Male 1: adult size, newer coat, probably male, no tags seen. This might be R430.
About 20 feet on the Makapuu side of the 1BS was Adult Male 2: adult size, old coat, male belly and two red tags.
Another 30 feet in the Makapuu direction was Adult Male 3: adult size, new coat, male belly and two red tags.

Team R&B spotted three seals foraging off the outfall. One of the Unknown Adults had mint green face and clean coat. The second Unknown Adult had a clean coat and at one point the two were close enough together they got a photo.  The third seal with the others was
newly molted. That seal finally hauled out and they were able to ID RM31 Kai.
While there Team R&B witnessed another rescue today.

Next they checked out Plains and found a big seal on shore close to the water. It was KG89 Huakai. They were glad they made a quick ID because she left shortly after they arrived. A couple had walked up to her, and the lifeguard educated them, explaining the zone was set up for a reason.

November 8, 2026 Sunday's Dailies

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

Starting out on the west side they spotted a seal alone. It was a female with on tag, at first they thought it was Kala, but then noticed a long line scar on right side  of her face. Kala doesn't have any scar on her right side unless its a new scratch.  They really weren't sure so it is an Unknown Female.

Their second find on the west side was RV20 hauled out on shore. He
was resting, but there were so many footprints all around him. They called the hotline and stayed with him for a while.

They headed out to plains and when they arrived they saw a seal with a clean coat, smaller in size, and tag was T06/T07...... it's Marvin. He's back ! Team R&B noted he looked thinner this visit they could count up to 4 ribs depending on his position. He's usually robust, other than that he seemed fine.  There was a plover interested in him.

Next sighting was at tracks from afar. It was a female with no tags hauled out on shore. There were two ladies that came by with an unleashed dog. The dog got close to the seal, the seal barked and the ladies took the dog away by holding its collar. A couple of homeless dogs charged the ladies and dog.  Team R&B did see a volunteer on site.

At Kahe they found RM31 Kai who is fully molted. His tags were
visible and he is looking good. He was resting in a small pond on the rocks.

Last but not least they spotted a seal out in the water close to a jet-ski. They were able to ID R416 by his scar on right side of his face, and no tags. He seemed to be done with his molt. They waited but he never hauled out.
