Under the Bay

A Puzzle Honoring the Bay's Wildlife

Introducing a new puzzle, Under the Bay, honoring the wildlife of San Francisco Bay and our work defending the watershed.

This image is a reminder of what we stand to lose if we don’t fight for water and the environment—and why, with the help of supporters like you, Baykeeper remains the Bay’s fiercest defender.

Meet The Wildlife

The puzzle scene features an array of species who make their home in and around the waters of San Francisco Bay and its vast watershed, beautifully rendered by Fiorella Ikeue.

Many of these species, from the Chinook salmon near the Delta to the Orca passing by the Golden Gate, are harmed by threats like unsustainable water diversions, pollution, dredging, and climate change.

Take Action to Protect the Bay’s White Sturgeon

California’s white sturgeon is the continent’s largest and oldest freshwater fish, having swum in Pacific Coast rivers and streams for 46 million years. But now, this ancient fish is facing multiple existential threats. Excessive water diversions from Central Valley rivers, harmful algae blooms, and overfishing are pushing white sturgeon to the brink.

Meanwhile, California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife and the agencies responsible for maintaining Bay-Delta water quality, are making decisions that further harm the white sturgeon.

So Baykeeper and our coalition partners are working to ensure that California white sturgeon receive the protections they need to survive.

Act now! Sign our letter to urge the CA Fish & Game Commission to list California’s white sturgeon as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act—and ensure this iconic Bay fish is protected in the years to come
