San Francisco Bay-estuary supports an incredible array of life above and below its usually placid surface. Come explore the habitats of mudflats, rocky shoreline, oyster beds, and salt marshes along with the open water to find out more about this watery world and the animals that inhabit it. Meet whales (and hear their tales), barnacles, crusty crustaceans, water birds, leopard sharks and more.
Where in the Bay Area might you find both the smallest and the largest living things on the planet? In the ocean waters off our shore, where the upwelling of cold nutrient-rich water feeds a most spectacular gathering of wildlife, from tiny one-celled phytoplankton to 100-foot-long kelp strands to 85-foot-long blue whales. Bay Nature magazine (Oct 2007)
Sharol Nelson-Embry is the Supervising Ranger (aka Head Crab) at Crab Cove Visitor Center (EBRPD) in Alameda . She's worked in environmental interpretation since 1982 and writes outdoor columns for many newspapers.
