Desert Speaks

The Gulf Of California

As the Colorado River empties into the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez, this program examines the shore birds and sea mammals inhabiting the gulf and how they use the resources of the sea. Take a close-up look at a tide pool and the microcosm of animal communities within these miniature "windows of the sea." Visit the Sierra Bacha, and see a unique plant community on the mainland side of Mexico.
