Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Restoration Campaigns- Save The Bay supported the research and outreach efforts of the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority, a regional agency pursuing public funding for wetland restoration. We worked to re-establish 100,000 acres of restored tidal marsh habitat around San Francisco Bay through policy measures and a strong science-based program, enlisting volunteers to re-vegetate key sites. Our Community-based Restoration Program assists federal, state and local landowners of shoreline parcels to improve vital wetland habitat for endangered species and to adapt to climate change, including ecotone transition areas at former salt ponds in Hayward and Menlo Park, and at shoreline sites in Corte Madera, Oakland and Palo Alto. Participants engage in hands-on wetland restoration and stewardship (continued on Schedule O)

Activity 3

Bay Protection- Save The Bays Clean Bay Project helped to reduce Bay pollution from cities and neighborhoods encouraging municipalities throughout the region to adopt pollution prevention best practices. We assisted a growing number of municipalities to enact restrictions on plastic bags and polystyrene food packaging, two of the largest components of trash entering the bay through runoff. We are monitoring cities progress complying with new regulatory requirements to reduce trash entering the Bay through storm water.Save The Bay provided information to local and regional residents about threats to fill in more of the bay development on restorable salt ponds in Redwood City, and on diked historic Baylands in Newark. We provided information to state and federal agencies regarding applicable regulations and policies, including sea level rise and adaptation to climate change.
