Bay Restoration
Partially aquatic, partially terrestial, the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary marshlands once covered 550,000 acres.
By the late 20th century, only seven percent of the original, historic tidal wetlands remained.
The marshlands were a nursery ground for juvenile fish and habitat for millions of migratory waterfowl and shorebirds.
The Bay Institute works with numerous other environmental and partner organizations to restore the marshlands.
The Bay Institute is raising funds and promoting public support to restore 100,000 acres of wetlands.
The largest coastal wetlands restoration project in the nation is underway in San Francisco Bay. The goal is to restore 100,000 acres of wetlands over the next twenty years. The Bay Institute is playing a key role in this undertaking by helping to raise funds for restoration projects and by promoting broad public support through our outreach and education activities.
