The Farallon Islands, or Devil's Teeth, as they are referred to by sallors, are a group of small islands with rocky, barren terrain and treacherous underwater currents, 48 km (30 miles) off the coast of San Francisco, California. Although the islands are small, with a combined total land area of 0.41 km² (0.16 square miles), they are positioned in a major ocean current, which enables them to house dense populations of binds rodents, seals, and other water mammals.The abundance of wildlife first attracted Russian and American fur traders in the early 1800s, who then nearly eliminated the seal population in the area. The islands then became an agricultural resource for San Francisco during the Gold Rush era when egg companies began harvesting bird eggs on the islands. In 1863, violence between rival egg companies erupted on the islands (known as the "Egg War"), which inadvertently attracted national attention and provoked lawmakers to pass legislation to protect and rehabilitate the islands' natural ecosystem.In 1881, an executive order was passed that decreed egging legal on the Farallons. This ended private enterprises on the islands and was reinforced in 1909 when President Theodore Roosevelt created the Farallon Reservation to restrict human access and preserve the northern Islands. Protection was expanded in 1967 to include all the Farallon Islands, and over time many of the islands' original inhabitants have returned.The Farallons are now home to the world's largest population of western gulls. Seals have returned, as well as otters and sea lions, which in tum attracts great white sharks. The combination of sharks, underwater currents, and jagged coastline are probably what earned the Farallons their nickname "Devil's Teeth," though it hasn't stopped a few adventurous people from swimming. Four people have completed the 30-mile swim from the islands to San Francisco; the fasted person completed the journey in 14 hours.Stimulus: 1 of 6Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
Answer Choices:
A. The ecosystem of the Farallon Islands has always been unstable.
B. Humans disrupted the ecosystem helped to restore it.
C. The Farallon Islands are currently an agricultural resource for San Francisco.
D. The Farallon Islands are a dedicated sanctuary for western gulls
