Baykeeper defends San Francisco Bay from its biggest threats and holds polluters accountable to create healthier communities and help wildlife thrive.

Baykeeper acknowledges that we are on the unceded land of many Native peoples and tribal groups who came to this region before us and who still live here today. We recognize them as the authentic stewards of the land and of San Francisco Bay and its vast watershed, and we support their efforts for indigenous sovereignty and repatriation. In their honor, we pledge to protect the Bay and its shared waters for future generations.
