Hi Uncle; howzit!
Marine debris is a problem that we're all concerned about, really all over the world. I'm working on a post that will tell our FOAM followers about a marine debris beach cleanup done on Midway a week ago. Stay tuned!
Uncle, marine debris is not only a problem in the ocean environment, but also in freshwater areas. I will make a post so that our FOAM readers will know about the marine debris problem for our Laysan Duck "seeps."
does anyone know if the can came off of the snout of the monk seal?
No, I'm sorry, we don't know, for sure, if the can came off of the monk seal's snout...but I bet it did. In fact, as the post said, since the NOAA people took the picture, they probably took the can off. The picture was posted on their marine debris blog by Carey...which is probably Carey Morshige. Here's her email address if you'd like to contact her directly--

Thanks for being concerned!
