Tracking TT40.....
 
About a month ago a Hawaiian Monk Seal (an endangered species) was spotted off the coast of Kauai trailing fishing line from his mouth.  He was trapped, flown to Oahu and operated on to have the fish hook embedded in his esophagus removed.  He recovered on Oahu and was returned to Kauai and released last week at Salt Pond beach.  Some time ago (prior to his operation) a transmitter was attached to the monk seal so he could be tracked.  I believe this is the monk seal I saw a few months ago at the beach.  It's really amazing how so many people and agencies cooperated to save this guy.  Sometimes goverment does work.
 
Below is the link to track his movements around the islands of Kauai and Niihau.
