^"Mowry Slough Watershed". Historically one of the deepest sloughs in South San Francisco Bay, Mowry Slough meanders through the tidal marsh bounded by colorful salt ponds. It is named for Origin Mowry who, in the mid-1800s, owned over 400 acres of farmland in the area and used the slough to transport goods and people by boat. Mowry Slough is located in the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and is accessible only by boat. Being so isolated, it is an ideal home for harbor seals, which are easily disturbed by human activities. A healthy population of harbor seals thrives there, raising their young and sunbathing on the banks of the salt marsh.
