San Pedro Mártir Island

San Pedro Mártir is located in the center of the Gulf of California and is the most remote island in the Sea of Cortez.The island is uninhabited by humans and is 60 km from Bahía Kino, the nearest city in the state of Sonora on the west coast.[10] The Seri Indians created benches to attract nest building and ease of egg collection, the sole permanent evidence of human intervention visible on the island.[11] San Pedro Martir is seldom visited, having near vertical sides leaving only questionable fair weather anchorages in two locations.According to the National Biodiversity Information System of Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad (CONABIO) in San Pedro Mártir Island Biosphere Reserve there are over 330 plant and animal species from which 27 are in at risk category and 7 are exotics.
