Creature Features |
 Grey whales begin their northern migration from Mexico, up along the west coast on their way to Alaska , traveling through the Channel Islands, Gulf of the Farallones, and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries.
Returning migratory shorebirds visit Georgia's coastal and offshore waters including Gray's Reef Sanctuary to feed on the plentiful bait fish building up their energy reserves to continue their journey northward to their nesting grounds. Scalloped hammerhead and spotted eagle ray schools peak during this month in the Flower Garden Banks Sanctuary. |
