Our core pillars of focus are designed to deepen humanity’s connection to the ocean as the lifeblood of the earth, provide tangible solutions for resilience, and create a blueprint for coexisting in harmony with our natural world.

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, 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.
