In accordance with the Act and NOAA’s Policy for the Assessment of Civil Administrative Penalties and Permit Sanctions, both individuals were jointly assessed a $20,000 civil penalty in the case of an attack by unleashed dogs causing the death of the Hawaiian monk seal pup. 

The birth of a monk seal was documented in video on a beach along the North Shore of Oʻahu. Veteran mother RN58 gave birth to PO5, the fifth pup born on O‘ahu this year.
