Explanation:
[STC003678] Although they give the impression of being in a distant and mountainous location, the Farallon Islands are actually just around 50 kilometers (31 miles) west of the Golden Gate Bridge. However, despite their proximity to the metropolitan area, the islands have remained devoid of inhabitants since since the 1960s. Fur traders used to kill wildlife for pelts, blubber, and eggs as early as the 1800s, but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has managed the islands since 1969, attempting to return the area to its natural state. The Farallon Islands are now a component of the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex. This refuge complex is home to the biggest seabird breeding colony found south of Alaska.
