On February 25th, 2014, the Alameda Aero Club hosted a NOAA Seabird Protection and VFR Chart Session Seminar with guest Mai Maheigan from the Seabird Protection Network, Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, an NOAA affiliate. We learned some valuable info on the marine life and seabirds, our coastline, and our Wildlife Refuge Areas and National Marine Sanctuary areas. Since the information shared would be of continued interest to AAC pilots, Mai kindly shared the links and documents below for reference.
