HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Two Kamehameha Kapalama seniors are teaching the world about Endangered Hawaiian Monk seals in a three-part Olelo Hawaii-narrated video series.

And if you aren’t fluent in Hawaiian language, you can read subtitles.

Kamehameha Kapalama seniors Huki Plunkett and Nohi Tabilangan are masterminds behind the mini video series which is focused on teaching Native Hawaiians the threats monk seals face and how to protect them.

The series “He Moʻolelo ʻĪ-lio-kai” started as an internship project with the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center and now the girls are sharing the videos at Hawaiian immersion schools.
