        NOAA Fisheries removes aggressive monk seal KE18 from the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands 
    </title>
    <description>
        On Sunday, January 29, an adult male Hawaiian monk seal known as KE18 was carefully removed from the Northwestern 
        Hawaiian Islands where his aggressive behavior had caused serious injury to young seals and posed a threat to their 
        survival.  KE18 was transported to Honolulu on a U.S. Coast Guard C-130.  He will temporarily reside at the Waikiki 
        Aquarium while officials continue to evaluate other options.

        Monk Seals in Your Neighborhood
    </title>
    <description>
        Monk Seals in Your Neighborhood is a series of events put on by the NOAA Fisheries Service Pacific Islands Region. The 
        purpose of these events is to educate the public about the endangered Hawaiian monk seal. Keiki and adults will be able to 
        learn about this special animal, native to the Hawaiian Islands, through fun activities, science exhibits and life sized 
        monk seal models. NOAA Fisheries scientists and staff will be on hand to answer questions and explain the science behind 
        management efforts to recover the population. This event will be a great opportunity to find out more about monk seals and 
        what people can do to help recover the population.
