	Guadalupe Island Conservation Fund :: The biosphere reserve and the resource we protect
		Guadalupe Island lies 150 miles offshore of the Pacific coast of Mexico, south of San Diego and west northwest of Punta Eugenia on the Baja California peninsula.
		Guadalupe is bathed by oceanic currents so its marine life includes pelagic animals such as pilot whales, Cuvier's beaked whales, oceanic whitetip sharks, bluefin and yellowfin tuna and strange gelatinous zooplankton.
		In fact, Guadalupe is a both a Mexican Bio-Sphere Reserve and a pinniped sanctuary and was the last refuge for the Northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) and the Guadalupe fur seal (Arctocephalus townsendi).

	Guadalupe Island, Mexico, Isla Guadalupe Photos, Phillip Colla Photography
		This large (98 square mile, 22 mile long) island is environmentally isolated, surrounded as it is by deep water, some of which attains depths of 12,000' between the island and the mainland.
		Guadalupe Island is the site for the current spearfishing world records for Pacific bluefin tuna (Terry Maas, 398 lbs, 1983) and North American yellowtail (Doug Kuczkowski, 77 lbs, 1999).
		Historically, mountaintop Guadalupe island pine and Guadalupe cypress trees condensed cloud moisture into fresh water springs, supporting a community of plants along the top ridge of the island.

	FOREST GENETIC RESOURCES - No. 30
		The pine population on Guadalupe Island, Mexico's westernmost land, is one of only five native populations of Monterey pine (Figure 1).
		But unlike their Guadalupe Island relatives, many of the pines are young and of the same age: indications that they have grown up quickly and uniformly after a major disturbance (fire).
		Conserving the natural resources on Guadalupe and Cedros Islands is a matter of national and international interest and pride for Mexico and, in the case of Guadalupe Island, a matter of policy.

		The island is inhabited by abalone and lobster fishermen and their homes are in Camp East, where the dwellings and boats are protected from the strong winter winds and heavy seas by a beautiful bay.
		The island dwellers’ hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived, as we were immediately invited to have supper consisting of a delicious lobster salad (“you can’t get it fresher than this”, said the housewife).
		The island also has a military function, as members of the navy control the coming and going of boats to and from the island.

		Guadalupe fur seals tend to stay near shore and breed in caves on Guadalupe Island rather than on open beaches.
		Scientists did not know what a living Guadalupe fur seal looked like until 1928, when a few dozen fur seals were discovered on Guadalupe Island, two of which were brought to the San Diego Zoo.
		Guadalupe fur seals are now protected by law in the United States and in Mexico, and Guadalupe Island has been designated a pinniped (seal and sea lion) sanctuary.

	eNature: FieldGuides: Species Detail
		The Guadalupe Fur Seal was nearly exterminated by seal hunters in the 1800s; by 1892 only seven individuals were known to exist.
		The vocalizations of this species are unique: The male has a low bark when he is on his territory and a growl, roar, or cough when threatening other males, and the adult female bawls when interacting with her pup.
		Guadalupe Fur Seals mate 7 to 10 days after the female gives birth to a pup conceived the previous year.

	Variation and Nomenclature of Leach's Storm-Petrels (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		It should be emphasized that the Guadalupe Storm- Petrel was never seen alive anywhere except at its nesting burrows or, questionably, at sea at the very base of the island (Jehl and Everett MS).
		Ainley also showed that Guadalupe Island birds of both populations have vocalizations that differ somewhat from those found in other Atlantic and Pacific colonies, although the calls may be more vari- able and less diagnostic than he realized.
		The vast majority of the specimens from Guadalupe were taken by Hubbs and colleagues or by the Pacific Ocean Biological Survey Program (Crossin 1974), however, and these expe- ditions (summarized in Table 1) were not made at regular intervals through the year, which partly ex- plains the apparent gaps.

	Guadalupe
		The island is volcanic in origin, making for some fantastic sights, from the partially blown out crater, the flows of basalt, craggy mountains and sheer cliffs.
		Because of the high elevation in parts of the island (islands), the fact that it's the only hunk of land within 150 miles and more of open sea, the island creates it's own weather patterns, vortices are actually created there.
		We made Guadalupe by 2PM, plenty of time to begin the task of transferring fuel from the reserve tanks to the mains.

	On the Present Status of the Guadalupe Petrel
		--Successive expeditions to Guadalupe Island during the past thirty years have returned with interesting repre- sentations of the island's fauna, and simultaneously have amassed evidence of the gradual decrease and final disappearance of many of the autochthonous bird species.
		Land birds have not suffered alone, and it has become patent that the Guadalupe Petrel is being, or has been, driven from the stage.
		Aside from Anthony's report, the most recent definite record of the occurrence of the Guadalupe Petrel is from the pen of Dr. C.
