Cordell Bank National Marine SanctuaryHome > Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary > Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary ![]() Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary is a lush feeding ground for many marine mammals and seabirds. Algae and invertebrates proliferate. Endangered humpback whales along with Dall"s porpoises, albatross, shearwaters, and countless other marine species flourish in this extraordinarily rich marine environment. However, few people have seen this special part of the California seafloor due to its depth, currents, and distance from the mainland. Directions: Cordell Bank is located on the continental shelf, about 43 nautical miles (nm) northwest of the Golden Gate Bridge and 18 nm west of the Point Reyes lighthouse. The sanctuary boundary starts six miles offshore of Point Reyes.
