- $1 of every Hawaiian Monk Seal sold (up to $100,000 maximum) was donated to the National Wildlife Foundation to help raise awareness about endangered animals.
- While the newspaper article refers to the monk seal as a male, the seal is referred multiple times as a female in Aloha, Kanani and named Malana,[1] a female name.[2]
