Program areas at Save the Bay

Restore Bay HabitatWe restore tidal marsh transition zone habitat to nurture wildlife and protect communities from rising tides and climate change impacts. We boost public funding to accelerate bay restoration, and we create shoreline habitat through novel scientific techniques, mobilizing thousands of community volunteers to propagate native plants, install and maintain them to improve bay health and utilize nature for climate adaptation.
Education and OutreachWe educate and mobilize the public, partners and policy-makers to be active leaders for bay protection and restoration, engaging thousands of supporters, students, business and community leaders in advocacy and volunteer activities. We educate thousands of students in science and stewardship on the shoreline with watershed curriculum and engaging "outdoor learning online" video lessons accessible to all. We lead the region's annual.
Bay Smart CommunitiesWe advocate with many partners for the bay and its shoreline communities, so nature grows and people thrive here. We battle pollution and promote government policies to boost bay area resilience to climate change and reduce stormwater pollution, expanding green infrastructure that employs nature to provide multiple community benefits. We campaign for enforcement of laws that prohibit trash in the bay and destructive shoreline development, and for expansion of public access to the bay for everyone.
