Harbor Seals by David Sifry.
Sonoma County was granted two parcels of sovereign lands in trust in 1943 for use as a public park. In 1951, the County was granted all the sovereign tide and submerged lands in Bodega Harbor. The 1951 grant was repealed in 1959 and a new grant of sovereign tide and submerged lands in Bodega Harbor was enacted for the establishment, improvement, and conduct of a harbor, for utilities, structures, facilities and appliances necessary or convenient for the promotion and accommodation of commerce and navigation by air and water and for public buildings, parks, and playgrounds and other public recreational purposes.
