The Farallon Islands, just 27 miles off San Francisco, lie amid the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary,
a food-rich marine ecosystem that attracts whales, dolphins, seals, sea
lions and seabirds each summer and fall, to feed and to breed.
Researchers have catalogued hundreds of individual humpbacks and blue
whales as seasonal feeding residents. 36 species of marine
mammals, including 18 species of whales and dolphins, and more than
250,000 nesting seabirds can be found here.
