- Abstract
Guadalupe fur seals ( I Arctocephalus townsendi i ) have established a second haul-out in the Gulf of California on El Farallón de San Ignacio Island, along the mainland coast of Mexico (Figures 1 and 2). With only a single breeding colony (rookery) on Guadalupe Island, Guadalupe fur seals remain vulnerable and may require additional protections in the southern Gulf of California to secure their future. New colony of Guadalupe fur seals (Arctocephalus townsendi) discovered on El Farallón de San Ignacio Island, Gulf of California Guadalupe and San Benito Islands are two of five locations where Guadalupe fur seals were once thought to breed (Figure 1) and represent <50% of the 100,000 Guadalupe fur seals thought to have been present before hunting (Fleischer, 1978; Hamilton, 1951).
