Farllon islands passage - ✔✔ANSWER✔✔-The
Farallon Islands, or Devil's Teeth, as they are
referred to by sailors, are a group of small
islands with rocky, barren terrain and
treacherous underwater currents, 48 km (30
miles) off the coast of San Francisco, California.
Although the islands are small, with a combined
total land area of 0.41 km? (0.16 square miles),
they are positioned in a major ocean current,
which enables them to house dense
populations of birds, rodents, seals, and other
water mammals.
The abundance of wildlife first attracted
Russian and American fur traders in the early
1800s, who then nearly eliminated the seal
population in the area. The islands then
,became an agricultural resource for San
Francisco during the Gold Rush era when egg
companies began harvesting bird eggs on the
islands. In 1863, violence between rival egg
companies erupted on the islands (known as
the "Egg War"), which inadvertently attracted
national attention and provoked lawmakers to
pass legislation to protect and rehabilitate the
islands' natural ecosystem.
In 1881, an executive order was passed that
decreed egging illegal on the Farallons. This
ended private enterprises on the islands and
was reinforced in 1909 when President
Theodore Roosevelt created the Farallon
Reservation to restrict human access and
preserve the northern islands. Protection was
expanded in 1967 to include all the Farallon
Islands, and over time many of the islands'
original inhabitants have returned.
The Farallons are now home to the world's
largest population of western gulls. Seals have
returned, as well as otters and sea lions, which
in turn attracts great white sharks. The
combination of sharks, underwater currents,
and jagged coastline are probably what earned
, the Farallons their nickname "Devil's Teeth,"
though it hasn't stopped a few adventurous
people from swimming. Four people have c
