Protecting the Future of San Francisco Bay
Our Focus
What We Do
CCCR works to protect San Francisco Bay, its wetlands and other crucial habitats, and the species that depend on them. Our efforts have resulted in the permanent protection of thousands of acres of baylands from development and other threats. We continue to fight for the protection and expansion of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, focusing on at-risk baylands as we work to protect and “complete the refuge.” CCCR advocates well beyond those boundaries for regional, state, and federal policies and regulations that promote biodiversity and the resilience of the Refuge, San Francisco Bay and our local communities from sea level rise and climate change.

San Francisco Bay Needs Our Help
Over the past century, we’ve lost over 90% of the San Francisco Bay estuary’s tidal wetlands! The remaining 10% represents 77% of the entire State’s tidal wetlands.
Despite significant progress around the Bay to restore valuable tidal marshes and support the recovery of endangered species, the Bay’s wetlands and other wildlife habitats continue to face constant threats by development, sea level rise, and other ecological impacts. Protecting and restoring the Bay requires constant vigilance by the public.
One of the most urgent threats to the Bay is a proposed to develop the Newark Baylands – 500 acres of wetlands and wildlife habitat directly adjacent to the Don Edwards SF Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Scientists have called protecting these baylands a critical priority for the health of the Bay, and one of the rare places that can support the migration of Bay wetlands inland as sea levels rise. Take action to Save Newark Wetlands!
