$3.2M hospital on Big Island will break ground, cater to seriously ill monk seals - Mauinews.com | News, Sports, Jobs, Visitor's Information - The Maui News

 "HONOLULU - Hawaiian monk seals can't get a break.

The animals often become entangled in abandoned fishing nets or accidentally caught on fishing hooks. As pups, they sometimes have a hard time competing with sharks and large jacks, or ulua, for food.

It's all putting the species numbering less than 1,100 animals on course to disappear within 100 years."
