Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuge, established in 1992, is situated in San Pablo Bay off the coast of San Rafael in Marin County, California. Comprising two islands, East Marin and West Marin, the refuge is home to a diverse array of bird species, including the largest heron and egret rookery in the San Francisco Bay area.
With a focus on protecting migratory species and restoring habitat for the heron and egret nesting colony, the refuge also safeguards the tidal mud flats and unique island ecosystem. Closed to the public due to safety concerns, the refuge offers a critical sanctuary for wildlife in the region.
