It's #EarthDay! 💚 Wondering what you can do locally to protect the Bay?
Throughout #EarthMonth, you can join us for our annual Clean Bay Challenge. As a Clean Bay Challenge volunteer, you'll protect the Bay by picking up trash in the places you already know and love. Baykeeper will provide the tools + tips you need to lead a safe and effective cleanup.
It is a great way for kids, families, and neighbors to make a difference together.

#California's #SanFranciscoBay is home to Eastern North Pacific #GrayWhales.
Residents & researchers now get to closely observe how they feed, breed & socially engage. They've also brought growing unease: why are so many of them #undernourished & #dying?
In 2025, a record number of 21 dead gray whales were found in San Francisco Bay. So far this year, 7 have died due to a combination of dwindling prey availability, climate change & human causes, researchers say.

In a major win for South Bay creeks, a federal judge has ruled that Mountain View and Sunnyvale violated the Clean Water Act by allowing raw sewage to flow into Stevens and Calabazas creeks--and that they must take steps to fix the problem.
"There were persistent high levels of bacteria and human fecal matter in their stormwater discharges throughout the system," as Baykeeper managing attorney Eric Buescher told NBC Bay Area News.Now, Baykeeper and the cities will present the judge with suggestions about how to address the problem. The judge is expected to issue a decision on that some time this summer.

People are often surprised to find that sand mining is happening right here in SF Bay - with the blessing of the State of California, which has been selling millions of tons of Bay sand to make concrete & asphalt.
But sand isn’t just sand, as our executive director Sejal Choksi-Chugh writes in her latest column.
Read more to find out what you can do to help!

Most people don't know this but the state is selling the Bay's dwindling sand -- so that for-profit companies can turn it into concrete.
Bay sand not only provides habitat for countless creatures, but literally shores up the shoreline. We *need* that sand to stave of erosion and sea level rise.
So we're suing.

Celebrating the Bay's stunning marshes & wetlands on this #WorldWetlandsDay
Sadly, most of the Bay's historic #wetlands have been destroyed - which is why it's so important to preserve and protect the ones we have left!

The Trump admin's newly proposed changes to the #CleanWaterAct would reduce or eliminate environmental protections in the Bay Area and across the U.S.
“This proposed rule could strip protections from the vast majority of wetlands in California, which are necessary to protect Bay Area communities from rising seas," as Baykeeper senior scientist Ian Wren said in a statement. "We can’t protect the Bay’s ecosystem and clean water if the law no longer recognizes the wetlands that make it possible."

BREAKING: We're putting the Trump administration on legal notice for killing and harming winter-run Chinook #Salmon, Central Valley #Steelhead, and Green #Sturgeon in the Bay-Delta.
“The Bureau of Reclamation is blatantly violating the #EndangeredSpeciesAct and putting the Bay’s most iconic fish species at greater risk of extinction,” as our lead attorney Eric Buescher said. “There is simply no excuse for its actions or refusal to comply with the law."
Thanks to our great coalition partners at the Center for Biological Diversity and Friends of the River

Good news! Newsom has vetoed a bill that would have created a loophole for hazardous metal shredding waste, including for the Schnitzer/Radius facility in #Oakland.
BIG thanks to everyone who responded to our action alert urging the governor to oppose this bill 🙏

Four Bay Area beaches are among 10 of the dirtiest in CA, as our partners at Heal the Bay report.
And San Francisco accounts for A LOT of coastal California's sewage spills.
Last year, the EPA & CA joined us in suing SFPUC for its 500+ Clean Water Act violations, including bypassing treatment systems and failing to maintain required treatment capacity during storms.
