Hawaiian monk seal Kaiwi and her newborn pup lie on the sand at Waikiki's Kaimana Beach in Honolulu on Thursday, April 20, 2023. Officials fenced off a large stretch of a popular Waikiki beach to protect the seal and her days-old pup. The unusual move highlights the challenges of protecting endangered species in a state that attracts millions of travelers every year.
