San Clemente Island
General Information
At 56 square miles, San Clemente is the fourth largest of the nine channel islands. Its highest peak rising to 1956 feet, this island is primarily made up of marine terraces and a shoreline cut with canyons. There is a gradual incline on the western side from the shoreline to the higher inland terraces. The eastern side of this island is made up of rocky formidable cliffs. Only a modest number of births have been recorded on this island. Only one pup was counted in 1977, none were counted in 1991, and the highest number of pups were born in 1982, when five pups were counted (Le Beouf et al. Chapter 2)
