dbo:abstract

Brooks Island Regional Preserve includes both the 75-acre (30 ha) of Brooks Island above the low-tide line and 300 acres (120 ha) of the surrounding bay. The only public access to the island is via an East Bay Regional Park District naturalist tour. Brooks Island is a mostly flat strip of land extending from a round hill, named Jefferds Hill, which peaks at 160 ft (49 m) in San Francisco Bay, located just south of the Richmond Inner Harbor in Richmond, California. Originally named as Isla de Cármen by a Spanish explorer, the island appeared as "Brooks Island" on maps from 1850 onward. The eponymous Brooks has never been identified. It has also been called Sheep Island and Rocky Island at various times. The island was bought by the regional parks district in 1968, and was opened to the public in 1988. Access is now available through ranger-led guided tours. (en)
La Isla de Cármen o de Brooks (Inglés: Brooks Island) es una isla de 373 acres en la Bahía de San Francisco en California. Formada por marismas mareales alrededor de un cerro de 163 pies. Se ubica al sur del puerto de la ciudad de Richmond y está incorporada a los límites de esa ciudad. Ha sido designado como parque de costa regional (Inglés: Park Regional Shoreline). Los nativos vivieron en la isla durante más de dos mil años, sobreviviendo gracias a la abundancia de mariscos. Posteriormente, los europeos usarían la isla como cantera, finca de ovejas e, incluso, fábrica de camarones. El parque es un importante hábitat reproductivo para varias aves migratorias. Los alguaciles del parque han intentado introducir ciervos en el mismo, pero la idea fracasó porque los animales cruzaban a nado al cercano continente, donde hay más espacio. (es)
