Rocky’s Pup Heads to Wilder Beach | Honolulu News

Rocky the monk seal, a seal world legend, just welcomed her 16th pup, PO11, at a busy beach—way off the usual birthing spot. Now NOAA’s moving the pup to a quieter Oahu beach to raise wild and free, away from beer bottles, barking dogs, and noisy crowds. Volunteers even protected them during fireworks this Fourth of July. Once weaned, PO11 gets a quick health check and tags to track its journey—just like RV96 before it. The message? Give seals space, leash your dogs, and report any harassment.
