Here's the video of the Monk Seal (adult) on NS. Onfloat was shooting the video and that's me in the frame. Hope this works, it was an awesome dive. Best dive to date this year. :mooner:

Do they know why the Monk Seal population is not increasing? What is the most likely cause for their small numbers?

I heard that is was because the lobster is depleted. not sure if that is true or not.

Yeah, hence the problem. A couple ideas floating around that it could be a depleted food supply, but there is a woefully small amount of information at the moment.
