Awards
Friends of the San Francisco Estuary presents awards for outstanding environmental projects and creative artwork at the State of the Estuary Conference. The biennial conference, produced by the San Francisco Estuary Partnership, showcases the latest information about the region’s work to sustain and improve the estuary’s habitats, living resources, water quality, climate resilience, and environmental stewardship.
Outstanding Environmental Project awards go to efforts that significantly benefit the Estuary, are completed or show measurable results, have not been externally mandated (for example, to resolve an enforcement action), and further the goals and objectives of the 2022 Estuary Blueprint (Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan).
Projects previously recognized include restoration of creeks, wetlands, and dunes; experimental natural infrastructure; collaborative volunteer efforts; and recycled water projects.

In 2019, Friends of the San Francisco Estuary introduced a new award to celebrate environmental artwork that shares knowledge, educates, and incites action to protect and improve the Estuary.
