Inspire others – share your SF Bay photos on social media using #MyBayPhoto 31850464554_5868708906_o From images of King Tides and trash in our waterways to pictures of people walking on the Bay Trail and soaking in the Bay views, we know first-hand that your Bay photos have the power to move and motivate people to create a cleaner, healthier San Francisco Bay. Help us spread the word! Next time you take a photo of the Bay, please share it with us on social media by tagging #MyBayPhoto. 5. Tell-a-Friend about STB and help expand our conservation conscious community 11187804_10153239740186335_3698378300547930392_o We depend on the Bay as much as the Bay depends on us to stay informed, ask questions, and take actions that help keep it thriving for years to come.

Together we can make it cleaner and healthier for nature and people, keeping it vibrant long into the future. So, thank you in advance for your get-up-and-go and do-good determination.
