When you make a donation to order our sustainable greeting cards, you’ll join Baykeeper in safeguarding San Francisco Bay from climate impacts. Here’s how your support builds resilience for the Bay Area:

• Block Fossil Fuel Expansion: Stop harmful projects like carbon capture pipelines in SF Bay that threaten wetlands and communities. 

• Protect Endangered Species: Safeguard critical habitats for species like the Longfin Smelt and Salt Marsh Harvest Mouse. 

• Prevent Toxic Flooding from Rising Seas: Remove pollution from shoreline sites before sea level rise reaches inland, spreading toxics throughout SF Bay.

• Defend Freshwater Flows that Keep the Bay Resilient: Advocate for the freshwater rivers that flow into SF Bay, sustaining habitats and communities. 

• Build Sea Level Rise Resilience: Preserve the wetlands, salt marshes, and open shorelines that filter pollution in SF Bay and protect communities from flooding.
