NOAA biologists have completed a series of assessment and recovery camps in the remote Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, which form the foundation of research and recovery efforts for threatened Hawaiian green sea turtles and endangered Hawaiian monk seals in the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.
Field camps are typically deployed yearly, but the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the 2020 season. This year, after numerous special precautions to work safely, teams returned to the field in March, with an early turtle team at Lalo in the French Frigate Shoals. Seal teams were at all sites in July, and they all returned on the NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette on September 30.
