Building a grassroots movement rooted in respect for our environment
At Bay Tides, we're passionate about protecting the natural beauty and health of the San Francisco Bay. While our primary focus is on the Peninsula, 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 hands-on projects, educational programs, and collaborative conservation efforts, we empower residents to make a meaningful impact in their backyard.
Founded in 2023, Bay Tides is a community-driven nonprofit dedicated to fostering environmental stewardship on the Peninsula of the San Francisco Bay Area, while remaining mindful of the broader Bay Area.
We believe the best way to protect our cherished shoreline is through local action in three key areas: Educate , Advocate , and Action . By connecting community members of all ages with opportunities to learn, volunteer, and engage, 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.
Our advocacy efforts empower residents to champion policies and initiatives that protect the bay's future. We engage with local leaders, collaborate with environmental organizations, and encourage community members to raise their voices for sustainable solutions.
Together, we aim to drive systemic change that ensures long-term protection of our cherished shoreline.
Taking action is at the heart of our mission. From habitat restoration projects to volunteer-led conservation efforts, we mobilize our community to make a tangible difference.
Whether it's cleaning up pollution, planting native species, or restoring habitats, our actions directly contribute to a healthier and more vibrant Bay Area.
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.
