The Farallon Islands AWRS Helipad is a remote landing site located on the Southeast Farallon Island, part of the Farallon Islands National Wildlife Refuge. It supports the operations of the research station managed by Point Blue Conservation Science in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
This helipad is essential for transporting researchers, supplies, and equipment to the rugged and isolated islands, which are located about 30 miles off the coast of San Francisco. It ensures the continuity of long-term biological studies and the maintenance of the automated weather reporting system (AWRS) situated on the island.
