Our mission is to protect and restore San Francisco Bay for people and wildlife.
We envision a clean and healthy San Francisco Bay, free from pollution, ringed by 100,000 acres of restored tidal marsh, and supported by communities that value and defend the Bay as central to the Bay Area’s exceptional quality of life.
Celebrate San Francisco Bay
For over 60 years, Save The Bay has been a trusted and proven entity protecting San Francisco Bay. In 1961, three citizen activists, Sylvia McLaughlin (pictured), Kay Kerr, and Esther Gulick, were alarmed by the years of pollution and destruction to their beloved Bay. Our founders mobilized their community to “save the bay” and from these roots a movement grew.
Like the challenges of the past, the threats we face now lie beyond the power of any single entity or individual to solve. With the support and partnerships of individuals, companies, and organizations Save The Bay is mounting efforts to make Bay Area communities sustainable, healthy, and equitable for all residents.
