    The Waikiki Aquarium in Honolulu, Hawaii, is seeking an enhancement permit to care for captive Hawaiian monk seals. This permit would allow them to have up to two non-releasable monk seals for educational and research purposes, including a seal named Ho'ailona that will be moved from a research facility in Santa Cruz, California. The aquarium plans to offer daily care and medical attention to the seals and will use the opportunity to raise public awareness about monk seals. The National Marine Fisheries Service has determined that an environmental assessment is not required for this permit, which would be valid for five years.

    Simple Explanation

    The Waikiki Aquarium in Hawaii wants permission to have two special Hawaiian monk seals that can't live in the wild anymore so they can help teach people about them. They promised to take good care of the seals and make sure people learn how important these seals are.
