MORE - Maui Moments

Okay just a little more about our Maui maiden..... Volunteer coordinator Nicole was kind enough to email me more information about I25/I26 - first Nicole has documentation that goes back to 2006, seems RI25/26 has a posse of volunteers who have monitoring her since 2007- apparently she became a first time Mom and went to Molokai to give birth.  (oh and seems molly is a nickname only used by an individual and not a known nickname on Maui)  THANK YOU NICOLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL DATA




Aloha good people!
So here is a perfect BLOG moment.... I received an email from nice guy named John who was diving on the North Shore of Maui and came across a "curious" seal with an I26 tag... seems as though she visited with them for about 30 minutes and following them... acting as John described curious but not aggressive.


NOW FOR the coolest part... I26 was sighted on Maui and posted here on the blog back on July 2009.... A friend of a volunteer (Karen R.) sent her the information....  Looks like John checked it out and also knew she was referred to as Molly.  


THANK YOU John -  I love these blog moments... makes it all worth it.

I26 Seal Seen by Divers on Maui

Aloha Good People!

Karen Rohter's good friend sent her these pictures and video from a diving trip she made to Maui. Seal's tag was identified as I26 (Karen's friend refers to it as Molly, but I think this more of a Morry). This siting and information was sent to NOAA. THANK YOU Karen and Karen's friend. ~donna~
