Journey into the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Visit the Waters of the Devils Teeth
Join marine biologist David McGuire on a unique exploration into the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, observing, photographing and recording marine wildlife from seabirds to whales, and maybe even a great white shark!
In the Gulf of the Farallones, the most common ecotype is known as the Transients or Biggs Ecotype. The Transients were the group identified in the humpback whale event last month. These orcas eat mammals, but are known to occasionally prey on seabirds, possibly squid, and occasionally even great white sharks too.
May is recognized as Pacific Islander and Asian American Heritage Month established to recognize the history, contributions, achievements and importance of Pacific Islanders and Asian Americans. With mixed Asian- Hawaiian blood, I represent two island peoples, both who have suffered from discrimination, but also two races who are close to ocean. In recent years I have learned about Hawaiian cultural values like pono (wisdom ) and malama, (care) for the ocean has been recognized by the state of Hawai’i.
Join us marching with the sharks in Dana Point, sharing the shark love, spreading the word.
Volunteer, wear a costume and help us save sharks and have fun.
These unique natural history trips to the Devil’s Teeth, (the Island of the Great White Shark) focus on the history, geology and biology of the Greater Farallones and San Francisco Bay. We only book in fall when the white sharks return and the weather is clement for our passengers and students. We focus on shark conservation and the health of the entire marine ecosystem in our sanctuary. Although we will watch whales and seabirds, and seek sharks- these trips are conservation and outdoor marine education and are not shark specifically watching of diving trips- but we often see sharks!
