Part of the popular Kaimana Beach in Waikiki on the Hawaiian island of Oahu has been closed off in order to give an endangered Hawaiian monk seal and its newborn pup some space.
The seal, named Kaiwi, gave birth on April 14. This marked the fifth birth for Kaiwi, who had previously birthed a pup on Kaimana Beach in 2021.
A temporary fence and 50-yard cordon including the water have been implemented, so as to protect the seals and human interlopers from each other. Mother seals are territorial and protective of pups, and have bitten swimmers in the past, causing serious injury. Kaiwi will nurse her pup for around five to seven weeks. Once the pup and mother separate, the cordon on Kaimana Beach and in surrounding waters will be removed.

Officials this week fenced off a large stretch of a popular Waikiki neighborhood to protect the Hawaiian monk seal pair. Last summer, a mother seal injured a tourist who got too close. There are fewer than 1,600 Hawaiian monk seals in the wild and it's a felony to disturb them.
