» Over six years of a National Marine Fisheries Service program to protect endangered Hawaiian monk seals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, 12 sharks that have attacked young seals have been killed. A Page A13 article on Sunday incorrectly reported that 19 seal-killing sharks were killed. Project workers also stressed that no sharks are killed unless they are seen attacking seals.
