The Bay Institute has been developing and leading model scientific research, education, and advocacy programs to preserve San Francisco Bay and its vast watershed — from the Sierra to the Golden Gate — since 1981. Our mission is "to protect and restore the ecosystems of San Francisco Bay, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, and the rivers, streams, and watershed tributary to the Estuary."
