Friends of the San Francisco Estuary is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization organized in 1991 by the San Francisco Estuary Partnership’s Management Committee.
Friends of the San Francisco Estuary protects, restores, and enhances the San Francisco Bay-Delta Estuary. We advocate, educate, and share information collaboratively to ensure the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (CCMP) or Estuary Blueprint is the guiding document for priority actions in the estuary.
What do we do?
Throughout our 25-year history, Friends of the San Francisco Estuary has sought to increase public awareness of and involvement in actions that protect and improve the San Francisco Estuary. We promote sustained public and political interest in implementing the actions identified in the Estuary Blueprint. In particular, we champion those actions that are the most politically intransigent.
The San Francisco Estuary is the largest estuary on the west coast of the Americas, and an area that is internationally recognized for its beauty and ecological importance. Our goal is that everyone who visits or lives in the San Francisco Bay and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta knows that this is one connected and interdependent system, from the mighty Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers to the Golden Gate and beyond.
