NOAA Fisheries’ Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program (HMSRP) and U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet Environmental initiated a collaborative research effort to investigate potential impacts of naval activities in the HRC. To accomplish this goal, positional data was collected by 13 global positioning system (GPS) telemetry tags deployed over a 2-year period (2010–2011) on 11 individual Hawaiian monk seals, for a total of 38,232 hours (1,593 days).
