It appears this record is mis-mapped —as noted in the "Occurrence remarks," the inferred locality is Santa Catalina Island.

The record has a huge coordinateUncertainty and appears to be a centroid of CA.

I agree, it's not quite clear how Catalina was inferred. I have replied to the original email to see if the curator has any additional information.
