You can observe the murres on Devil’s Slide Rock without risking your life on Highway 1. Video cameras are no beaming images of the murres to a monitor at Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel, and to a web page. You can also visit the project’s home page.
The Chronicle also tells the story of the penguin-like murres, ravaged by human populations and by fishing and wiped off of the rock by a 1986 oil spill. Scientists lured new birds with decoys and mirrors until the population grew from six nesting pairs to 190 last year.
