Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2012
Little is known about levels or effects of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Hawaiian monk seals (HMS) from the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) subpopulation. This study examined concentrations of a large suite of POPs in blubber and serum of juvenile and adult HMS from the MHI. Adult females have the lowest blubber levels of most POPs, whereas adult

Movements and home ranges of monk seals in the main Hawaiian Islands
Marine Mammal Science, 2017AbstractHawaiian monk seals (Neomonachus schauinslandi) began recolonizing the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) roughly 20 yr ago. The species’ abundance is still declining, but the subpopulation in the MHI is increasing by 6.5% per year. This difference may be due to differences in prey availability or habitat quality between the northwest (NWHI) and main ...

Marine Debris Polymers on Main Hawaiian Island Beaches, Sea Surface, and Seafloor
Environmental Science & Technology, 2019Polymeric differences of plastic debris were assessed across four compartments of the Main Hawaiian Islands (sea surface, windward beaches, leeward beaches, and seafloor) to better describe sources and fate. Plastic debris pieces (n = 4671) were collected from 11 beaches, three sea surface tows, and three seafloor dives.

We determine the prevalence and characteristics of interactions between the Hawaiian monk seal (Nemonachus schauinslandi) and nearshore fisheries in the main Hawaiian Islands and examine impacts to the subpopulation. We documented 139 monk seal–fisheries interactions between 1976 and 2014: 132 hookings typically involving large circle hooks accompanied

Depth-dependent indicators of algal turf herbivory throughout the Main Hawaiian Islands
Coral Reefs, 2021Herbivorous fish are key to maintaining a balance between coral and algae on reefs, where reefs with greater herbivore biomass often show lower algal cover. For reefs worldwide, algal turf cover is expanding and is increasingly used as an indicator of disturbance.

Characteristics of the Kona crab fishery in the main Hawaiian Islands
The catch, catch rate, and fishing effort for Kona crab in the main Hawaiian Islands were investigated to determine the need for conducting a stock assessment. The current annual catch limit (ACL) for Kona crab in the main Hawaiian Islands is 30,802 lb based on results from the latest stock assessment (Kapur et al., 2019).Ma, Hongguang +3 more

Design and implementation of a bottomfish fishery-independent survey in the main Hawaiian Islands.
2016Commercial and recreational fishing are important to the economy and culture of Hawaii. The deep-slope bottomfish commercial fishery preferentially targets seven high value 'Deep-7' species (i.e, six snappers and one grouper, hereafter referred to as bottomfish).
