The majority of Hawaiian Monk Seals live in six main breeding subpopulations in Papahānaumokuākea at Kure Atoll, Midway Islands, Pearl and Hermes Reef, Lisianski Island, Laysan Island, and French Frigate Shoals. Most of their feeding occurs at depths between 50 and 300 feet, with dive lengths averaging 10 to 15 minutes. These islands are also surrounded with teeming coral reefs, which serve as great foraging grounds for skilled seals to swim and dive for fish, spiny lobsters, octopuses, and eels that they usually catch at night.
