Building a grassroots movement rooted in respect for our environment
Working together to care for our Bay
At Bay Tides, we use technology to protect the natural environment and health of the San Francisco Bay. Our mission is to mobilize individuals in our local community to take an active role in preserving the Bay Area's shoreline and ecosystem.
Through digital tools, educational programs, and community mobilization, we empower residents to make a meaningful impact in their backyard.
Bay Tides uses computers and apps to keep the Bay healthy. We help people in our area learn about nature.
We want everyone to help protect the Bay. You can make a difference right where you live.
Founded in 2023, Bay Tides is a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to fostering environmental stewardship in the San Francisco Bay Area.
We believe the best way to protect our cherished shoreline is through local action in three key areas: Educate, Mobilize, and Innovate. By connecting community members of all ages with opportunities to learn, take action, and build digital tools, we're building a grassroots movement rooted in respect for our environment and a commitment to its preservation.
Three pillars guide everything we do
We believe that knowledge is the foundation of change. Through workshops, community partnerships, and public programs, we provide accessible education on environmental issues, conservation practices, and the critical role of the bay.
By raising awareness, we inspire individuals to take ownership of their impact on the bay.
We empower residents to make a real difference—whether that's volunteering for habitat restoration, cleaning up pollution, or championing policies that protect the bay's future.
By connecting residents with opportunities to act and speak up, we drive change on the ground and in the halls of government.
We harness technology to amplify our environmental impact. Through open-source digital tools like Bay Navigator, we make sustainability more accessible and connect residents with resources that support both their wellbeing and the planet.
By building privacy-first, accessible technology, we ensure innovation serves everyone in our community.
The San Francisco Bay is more than just a natural landmark—it's a vital ecosystem that protects critical and endangered wildlife and enriches our community.
Yet, this ecosystem faces ongoing, life-altering threats from human-induced pollution, climate change, and habitat loss. At Bay Tides, we believe that protecting the bay starts with each of us.
With your support, we can ensure a thriving, resilient Bay Area for generations to come.
