		Since the slopes of West Anacapa are the primary nesting grounds of the brown pelican, most of this islet is closed to the public.

		The poisoning is part of the Anacapa Island Restoration Project, aimed at killing non-native fl rats, which the environmental groups say have been established on the islands for two centuries.

		The NPS bombarded the island with food pellets laden with the poison brodifacoum, which causes slow death by internal bleeding to all birds and mammals exposed to the pellets.
