Wierd TFR in Mid California

I loaded up the AOPA flight planner last night and notice a large area in
mid western California that had a TFR. The shape was odd, and it was way
bigger than anything I had seen. I read the text and it was controlled by
the USCG, but I could not find any reason for the TFR. Anyone have any
idea what this is for?

This is only for curiosity sake, since it is not like I would go flying way
up there anyway. ;-)

ALL PILOTS should know this site:

Cool Thanks. I have been to that site many times, but did not think of it
for this case. Last night I do not think it said marine life rescue. It
seems that this is a rather large TFR for a fish. :-)

Anyway, I saw these whales in the river on the news last night. Did not
think they would make a TFR for that. Oh well.

It's a "security" issue.

Yeah.. media here is going crazy over the whales, to the point
where it's getting int'l attention and everyone wanting to fly over
here so they can see/help Free Willy. I can see the TFR not being
fixed, as they'd have to cover all the way down to the Delta so they
can head out to sea, but where it is currently at affects arrivals into
SMF as well as just about direction of flight for departure out of SAC.

I'd love to hear any PIREPs from those in the area flying out
of Executive..

I don't see it now. Do you have the NOTAM number? We do often have
TFRs over Beale for unmanned aircraft but that doesn't sound like what
you are talking about. We also have a permanent Mickey Mouse TFR in
SoCal.
