Description:The vessel Easy Rider was chartered for the survey conducted between 6 and 26 April 1977. The survey itinerary is detailed in Table 1. The objectives of the survey were to: 1) obtain current census information, 2) begin a study of causes behind the population decline at Pearl and Hermes Reef, 3) resupply the study team at Laysan Island. The Island of Nihoa was not visited. A landing was made on Necker Island which was not surveyed in 1976. Six days (2 at each location) were devoted to surveying monk seals at French Frigate Shoals, Laysan, and Lisianski Islands (Figure 1), It was our intention to spend 10 days at Pearl and Hermes Reef, but we lost 3 days (stormbound) when we first arrived and had only six days to carry out the study.
