The Farallon Islands
The Farallon Islands, vaguely discernible on the horizon west of San Francisco, are home to huge seabird colonies and a wealth of animal life. We talk with Bay Area experts about the Farallon National Wildlife Refuge, created by President Theodore Roosevelt over 100 years ago, and about the sharks, whales and ocean life surrounding it.
Host: Michael Krasny
Guests:
- Gerry McChesney, acting manager of the Farallon National Wildlife Refuge
- Maria Brown, superintendent of the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary
- Russ Bradley, Farallon program manager with PRBO Conservation Science (formerly Point Reyes Bird Observatory)
