San Francisco’s largest watershed conservation group, bay.org is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit that is an amalgam of six institutions, united under one mission to protect and conserve the Bay Area ecosystems. Human impact and environmental changes have put a strain on the ecological balance, and bay.org works towards preserving the natural environment for future generations. We focus on changing the conversation about conservation from a position of scarcity to that of abundance and from fear to opportunity.

With the mission to protect, restore, and inspire conservation of San Francisco Bay and its watershed, from the Sierra to the sea, bay.org is changing the relationship that people have with the Bay. By tapping into the lifestyle of the Bay Area, we are changing the conversation about conservation to make it approachable, achievable, and fun. 

Through our six unique divisions – Aquarium of the Bay, The Bay Institute, Sea Lion Center, EcoCenter at Heron’s Head Park, Bay Model Alliance, and Bay Academy – we motivate Bay Area residents, influencers, politicians, businesses, and out of town visitors to become agents of change for a healthy, thriving ecosystem.
