Monk Seals and the Northwestern Hawaiian Island

On Saturday, October 10, Pi Beta Phi members, friends, and invited guests gathered for a potluck dinner at Pam Ednie's home in Aina Haina. There were many delicious dishes: chili, sandwiches, chicken nuggets, fruit salad, bean salad, pasta salad, couscous, and apple pie.

A true "Pi Phi in Paradise," Brenda Becker gave a visual presentation of her work in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands studying the endangered Hawaiian monk seal - Hawaii's State Mammal. We learned what it's like to prepare and live on on a remote island and key findings of the monk seals gleaned from decades of research.
