Keiko Mori is a Hawai`i state's Professional Tour Guide so that she introduce you to Hawai`i history, culture, and geography with Aloha Spirit. Also, Keiko is a Hawaii Marine Animal Stwardships by Hawaii Marine Animal Responses (HMAR.)

She met Rocky, RH58, and Kaimana, RJ58 (mom & baby) of Hawaiian Monk Seal at Waikiki Beach, the busiest beach in the summer of 2017. Rocky gave to birth Kaimana on Waikiki Beach on June 29, 2017. They became popular Hawaiian Monk Seals in the world. Keiko fell in love with them and wanted to support and protect all seals in Hawaii so that seals will grow their population and live healthy and happy in Hawaii. Also, we can keep our Eco-system on Earth.

Hawaiian Monk Seal is the most Endangered Marine animal species in the world and is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, meaning it is native and exists nowhere else on Earth. There are only about 1,400 seals live in Hawai`i.

Their Hawaiian names are "iliokai" (dog of the sea), "ilioholoikauaua" (dog running in the rough seas), and "mea hulu" (furry one.) They love to play in the water and eat on a diverse range of fish and octopuses and squid which live on or near the ocean floor and hide in the sand or under rocks.

Kittie Travel is supporting Hawai`i Marine Animal Responses to protect Hawaiian Monk Seal.
