This data set contains records of survival factors recorded by PSD personnel and cooperating scientists as part of the ongoing monk seal population assessment efforts, and some miscellaneous earlier records extending back as far as 1977. Survival factors are defined as any unique event, or series of events that may affect the survival of an individual seals. Data are recorded for all deaths, probable deaths, suspicious disappearances, and moderate to severe injuries. Other recorded events include entanglement, observed male aggression, emaciation, ill or abnormal condition, oiling, or a seal out of habitat. Most data (since 1996) have been entered, however much of the older data are housed at PIFSC in paper form.
