This multi-day adventure explores the rich ecology and natural history of the Gulf of California with Tom Fleischner and Lisa Floyd-Hanna.

We are thrilled to return to the rich marine and desert biodiversity hotspot of the Gulf of California in Mexico! The Gulf of California, México: Wild Islands, Rich Desert program will feature boat trips to observe seabirds, dolphins, whales, sea turtles, and more. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore one of the world's most diverse deserts, the Central Gulf Coast Subdivision of the Sonoran Desert. Additionally, they will engage closely with local communities, including the fishing/conservation community of Bahia Kino, and the Indigenous Comcaac (Seri) people of the Canal del Infiernillo. This region is truly a global treasure. We’ve had the good fortune of leading field programs here for decades.
