The Channel Islands, Monterey Bay, Gulf of the Farallones and
Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries cover more than 9,500
square miles of ocean habitat. While most fishing and shipping are
still allowed within sanctuary waters, some activities are now
regulated or prohibited. Patrolling such an immense area by boat
would take days... but now sanctuary managers are taking to the air
in a rugged de Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter bush plane to get a
bird's eye view.
