San Francisco Bay is at a turning point, facing serious changes. But we can come together and ensure it remains clean, healthy and beautiful for generations to come by restoring wetlands around the Bay Area.
“The beauty of San Francisco Bay is the backdrop of our lives. On the surface, the bay looks healthy, but a deeper look shows that water and fish are contaminated by mercury, PCPs, pesticides, and other toxins. The depletion of wetlands and marshes, crumbling levees and rising sea levels mean increased risk of disastrous flooding.”
“Our Bay is on the brink… but we can help save it. The enclosed map (Photo by John H. Matthews | jmatthews.com) shows some of the challenges and potential solutions. You can connect, spread the word and learn more at OurBayontheBrink.org. Together, we can keep San Francisco Bay healthy, clean, and beautiful or generations to come.”
