The Farallon Islands

The Farallon Islands are often called "the Galapagos of California", because the islands and surrounding waters team with so much wildlife. The Farallon Islands: Past, Present, and Future is a new DVD that presents the past, present and future of these magnificent wilderness areas. From blue, humpback and gray whales, great white sharks, dolphins, and sea lions and seals, to the largest sea bird rookery in the continuous United States, the Farallon Islands are a wildlife bonanza. Exploited for the past 400 years, with devastating consequences to its wildlife, these islands and surrounding waters are now completely protected, and wildlife is returning at a slow but optimistic rate. This DVD is 40 minutes in length.
