IRS990/Desc0San Francisco Baykeepers mission is to defend San Francisco Bay from the biggest threats and hold polluters accountable. Baykeepers field investigators and scientists patrol the Bay to identify polluters and uncover threats. Our lawyers and policy advocates hold polluters accountable and require government agencies to strengthen laws. Baykeeper investigates pollution. We conduct regular patrols of San Francisco Bay on our motorized boat, and we partner with volunteer small plane pilots and drone operators to patrol from the sky. On these patrols, we discover new pollution sources and monitor the progress of polluters we have required to stop polluting. We also investigate tips from Bay Area residents who contact our pollution hotline about polluting activities. Baykeeper stops polluters. We stop pollution from industrial facilities, sewage treatment plants and city runoffincluding toxic chemicals, raw sewage, crude oil, coal and trash. Baykeeper strengthens laws.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0We advocate for stronger laws and stricter regulations to protect San Francisco Bay from polluters and destructive activities. Baykeeper defends the resilience of the Bay. Wetlands, sediment and freshwater flows are vital to a healthy, functioning Bay ecosystemand will be even more critical as the climate breaks down and sea levels rise. Baykeeper fights for protected shorelines, vibrant wetlands and healthy levels of sediment and freshwater flows to ensure a more resilient future for the Bay Area. Baykeeper has won critical victories at the national, regional and local level for San Francisco Bay. Since 1989, we have secured 277 legal wins to stop polluters; conducted 15,000 hours of boat patrols to investigate pollution; required 10 cities to reduce sewage spills by 75%; got 13 new state laws passed to stop oil spills; generated $11 million to restore San Francisco Bay; and mapped 300 miles of shoreline to plan for sea level rise in the Bay. We have a staff of
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/ExpenseAmt02
IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc013 with scientific and legal expertise, a board of directors with a breadth of experience with the Bay, an expert advisory board, a team of volunteer boat skippers and the only pollution patrol boat regularly monitoring and investigating polluters in the Bay. Baykeeper helped found the Waterkeeper Alliance, an international network of on-the-water activists, led by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. There are now more than 300 Waterkeeper affiliates around the world. Baykeeper holds the Baykeeper trademark and licenses its use by other organizations. To avoid confusion, Baykeeper operates primarily under the name San Francisco Baykeeper. Baykeeper incorporated as a nonprofit, public benefit corporation in California in January 1987, as the San Francisco Bay-Delta Preservation Association, and became Baykeeper in May 1989, the fourth Waterkeeper organization in the country. For 30 years, Baykeeper has been a fierce champion for San Francisco Bay. Visit us at baykeeper.org.
