Mowry Slough
is one of the largest and deepest inlets in the south San Francisco
Bay. Portions of the slough are located in Newark and Fremont.
Presently there is a network of storm drains that lead into the slough,
but in the last 200 years there was no natural drainage from the Diablo
Range. The slough meanders through a few miles of wetland, so the
mouth has been isolated. This has allowed
the area to be home to harbor seals, which are the last endemic mammal to
survive the human invasion.
