After capture on 22 June 2006, shearwater #701 has moved south from Monterey Bay to central-southern California (San Luis Bay). During the past two years, we have recorded similar exchanges among satellite-tracked shearwaters between Monterey Bay and San Luis Bay. Both coastal regions are influenced by upwelling of cool waters toward the north. The bays provide a habitat characterized by closed circulation and retention of nutrient enriched waters - ideal conditions exist here to support large standing stocks of coastal pelagic fin-fishes such as northern anchovy and Pacific sardine.
