Año Nuevo Island Reserve - Information Sheet

Located midway between San Francisco and Santa Cruz, along the rural San Mateo coast, Año Nuevo Island is a rocky islet teeming with with breeding seals, sea lions, and seabirds. Just two hundred years ago the island was connected to the mainland by a low peninsula. It served as a Coast Guard light station from 1872 to 1948. The fog signal house and abandoned former lightkeepers' residence can still be seen from shore. Today the island is part of 4,000-acre Año Nuevo State Reserve, which is owned and operated by California State Parks. Access to the island is limited to scientific researchers.

阿尼奥纽埃罗岛（Año Nuevo Island）坐落于旧金山与圣克鲁兹之间的中途地带，沿圣马特奥县的乡村海岸分布，是一座遍布繁殖期海豹、海狮与海鸟的岩质小岛。仅在两百年前，该岛还通过一处低矮半岛与大陆相连。1872年至1948年间，这里曾作为海岸警卫队灯塔站运营。如今从海岸仍可看到雾号信号站旧址与废弃的原灯塔管理员居所。如今，该岛隶属于占地4000英亩的阿尼奥纽埃罗州立保护区（Año Nuevo State Reserve），该保护区由加利福尼亚州公园管理局（California State Parks）所有并运营。该岛仅对科研人员开放。
