Who we are.....Established in 1995, the Farallones Marine Sanctuary Association is the nonprofit partner that supports and assists the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary in education, outreach, and stewardship. The Association also works to be a funding partner, increasing resources available to the Sanctuary via a public-private partnership approach to programs, initiatives, and facilities. The Association's work is undertaken with generous contributions from individual, corporate, and foundation donors, as well as income earned from educational camps and programs, merchandise sales, and other fee-for-service initiatives to advance the Sanctuary’s mission. Since its inception, the Association has provided the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary with significant financial support, and is recognized as one of the largest and most effective National Marine Sanctuary partners in the country. The Farallon Islands - "California's Galapagos"
latitude 37.698572, longitude -123.002207
Lying 28 miles off the coast of San Francisco, the jagged silhouette of the Farallon Islands disrupts the clean line of the horizon. This foreboding knot of rocks sits amid one of the most
productive marine food webs on the planet and hosts the largest seabird breeding colony in the continental United States. QUEST ventures out for a rare visit to learn what life is like on the islands and meet the scientists who call this incredibly wild place home.
