Coast Redwood is the world's tallest tree species, with individuals exceeding 380 feet. It grows in a narrow fog belt along the northern California and southern Oregon coast, where it captures water from coastal fog through needle drip. The massive trunks and dense canopy provide habitat for marbled murrelets, which nest on broad old-growth branches.
