Proof it works
In 2024, we partnered with The Marine Mammal Center and raised $7,000 in donations with our first greeting card featuring the Hawaiian Monk Seal.
Why we care about the marshlands
The Bay Area's marshlands are vital allies in the fight against climate change. These wetlands capture carbon, shield our shores from rising seas, and nurture wildlife adapting to a warming world. Protecting and restoring marshes means protecting our climate, our homes, and the creatures that call the Bay their home. Historically, the Bay Area had 190,000 acres of tidal marshes before European colonization. Today, just 30,000 acres remain. Urban development, agriculture, diking and draining for salt production, and transport infrastructure are main contributors to the decline.
