thank you karen for clearing up the misinformation in peter's article.
current research shows that the islands have never been connected to the
ainland. while they were once located down in the san diego area as karen
escribes below, they were underwater at the time.
the mystery still remains on why the torrey pines only exist naturally in
a jolla and santa rosa island. there are some very good articles with
ifferent theories on this subject in the island training manual.

y understanding, from Tanya Atwaters presentation,
nd the movable graphic in the whale kit, is that the
hannel Islands broke off of the continent of North
merica many millions of years ago,  as the article
ndicates, as a result of the 2 plates of the earths
rust moving in opposite directions.
They were once a part of the north american continent,
long with the Santa Monica mountains and the whole
ransverse ranges in So Cal.  Since they broke away
nd became islands, there has never been a land bridge
r connection back to the mainland.
What I do remember Tanya saying, that is contradictory
o the article, is that this breaking away occurred
ong before there would have been anything like the
orrey Pines growing on land, and so no one really
nows why the Torreys are in these 2 locations.
Tanya's webpage is  http://emvc.geol.ucsb.edu
You'll have to paste this in, I can't seem to make it
 link) and there are a number of "movies" you can
atch to visualize the movement of the islands away
rom the continent.

 Please clarify the above phrase.
 If the island have NOT always been isolated from the
 mainland this is news
 to me.
 Furthermore it is NOT in keeping with information
 being passing on via
 CINP-VIP interps to visitors during the  Official
 Island Orientations.
