Blue Wilderness: Diving into our Ocean Sanctuaries

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 everything from tiny one-celled phytoplankton to 85-foot-long blue whales. This special section, published in our October-December 2007 issue, explores these amazing ecosystems in text and stunning photos. Includes a full centerspread illustration of kelp forest and open ocean habitats, as well as a map of current and proposed Central California marine sanctuaries and protected areas.
