Northwestern Hawaiian Islands Monk Seal Rehabilitation Release 2007 – 2019

This dataset includes Argos satellite telemetry and/or GPS satellite locations for 33 Hawaiian monk seals throughout the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI; Nihoa Island, Mokumanamana Island, French Frigate Shoals, Laysan Island, Lisianski Island, Pearl and Hermes Reef, Midway Atoll, Kure Atoll). Seals were instrumented to monitor their foraging activities and survival after release from rehabilitation. Seals were rehabilitated (provided care and supplimental feeding) in an effort to mitigate the threat of poor juvenile survival associated with malnourishment. Seals were instrumented in association with field camps or research cruises in the NWHI from 2007 – 2019. Here we provide a Master Deployment Log table with details about each deployment on each seal (across all datasets), as well as dataset-specific Deployment Logs and Location Tables with location data for each seal. These data have been post-processed to remove poor-quality locations (Location quality code Z from Argos satellites, locations based on <5 GPS satellites, or points indicating impossible movement speeds or angles removed using the argos filter routine in R).
