Report #4 from the High Seas, sharks, etc.
Click here for the report.
Santa Cruz Island is located in the Channel Islands, which are offshore of the southern California mainland, stretching 160 miles from the northernmost San Miguel Island (out from Santa Barbara) to the most southerly San Clemente island (off of San Clemente). The islands and their encircling waters are rich in diversity of plant and animal life, and host 145 endemic plant and animal species. The five northern islands comprise the Channel Islands National Park. The largest of the islands in the park is Santa Cruz, which is 22 miles long and has a land mass of about 62,000 acres.
