Monk Seal Case: A Washington tourist, Igor Mykhaylovych Lytvynchuk (38), was arrested and charged federally after a video showed him hurling a coconut-sized rock at the endangered monk seal “Lani” off Lahaina—he allegedly bragged he was “rich enough to pay the fines.” Volcano Watch: On Hawaiʻi Island, Kīlauea’s Episode 47 is underway with lava fountaining from the north vent and intermittent activity at the south vent; USGS says it’s confined to Halemaʻumaʻu, with gas and ash drifting southwest. Weather: An upper low is expected to bring pockets of heavy rain and isolated thunderstorms Friday into the weekend, especially windward and mauka. Pearl Harbor Scrutiny: New reporting says FBI Director Kash Patel took a “VIP snorkel” around the USS Arizona during a Hawaii trip—an outing the FBI didn’t disclose. Tourism & Travel: IHG says its Americas pipeline grew in Q1, while TheBus adds extra service for UH Mānoa graduation. Ocean Safety: A 30-year-old Oklahoma man died after being pulled from Moloa’a Beach on Kauaʻi.
