According to National Geographic research, Galapagos Shark (not just found in Galapagos Islands group) preys on Hawaiian Monk Seals. But it is believed that there are other sharks which prey on them. One of the suspected sharks is Tiger Shark. I also thought that other small fish eat the Hawaiian monk seal. I also thought that the different kinds of fish are also the things that eats the Hawaiian Monk Seal.
There are only an estimated 1,100 monk seals in the Hawaiian Islands, and with the population declining at a rate of 4 percent annually, biologists predict their numbers will dip below 1,000 in the next three to four years. NOAA biologists counted 119 seal pups born in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands in 2009, compared with 138 in 2008. Monk seal sightings are becoming more frequent in the main Hawaiian Islands, where 15 births were recorded. In 2009, six pup births were reported on Moloka'i, five on Kaua'i, two on O'ahu, and two on Maui. But, the 2009 breeding season produced the fewest pups in at least 10 years making the Hawaiian Monk Seal one of the world's rarest species.

Known to the native Hawaiians as ʻIlio holo i ka uaua (dog that runs in rough waters), they get their common name from their bald appearance, solitary habits, and folds of skin around their heads which resembles a monk's hood. Nearly 90% of Hawaiian Monk Seals live around the tiny, uninhabited islands and atolls in the upper reaches of the Hawaiian archipelago.

Most true seal species fall into one of three geographical groups: northern, antarctic, and warm-water species. Nearly all are marine, but the Baykal seal (Pusa siberica) is confined to the freshwater Lake Baykal of Siberia, and the Caspian seal (P. caspica) to the brackish Caspian Sea. In addition several populations of the normally marine harbor seals and ringed seals are found in freshwater lakes. The northern seals include two species of temperate coastal waters: the common seal, or harbor seal, of the N Atlantic and N Pacific, and the larger gray seal of the N Atlantic. The former is the only seal frequently seen off U.S. coasts. The Greenland seal, or harp seal, is found in the arctic Atlantic; the ribbon seal in the arctic Pacific. The small ringed seal and the larger bearded seal are circumpolar arctic species. Antarctic seals include the voracious leopard seal, which feeds on penguins and other sea birds, and the Ross, Weddell, and crabeater seals. The warm-water seals are the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Hawaiian species of monk seal. A fourth group includes the elephant seal and hooded seal. There are two elephant seal species, one of the Northern and one of the Southern Hemisphere. They are distinguished by their immense size and trunklike snouts. The hooded seal, distinguished by an inflatable bladder over the snout, is found in the arctic Atlantic.Source: Answers.com
