We are stronger working together.
Baykeeper’s impact relies on effective collaboration with community members, environmental advocates, scientists, researchers, and outreach partners.
Our “Mighty” Collaboration with Hip Hop for Change
Inspired by a Baykeeper boat patrol, GRAMMY-nominated artist RyanNicole Austin and Hip Hop for Change created Small But Mighty, new music that encourages local youth, community activists, and hip-hop audiences to stand up and take action for communities living and playing around the Bay.
Funding Grassroots Partners Through Legal Action
As part of our settlement agreements against industrial polluters, we’ve required companies to pay more than $12 million (and counting!) to make up for their past pollution. These payments are typically directed through a Baykeeper sponsored fund at the Rose foundation for Communities & the Environment to support projects to restore sensitive Bay habitat, train youth to be environmental stewards, daylight local creeks, protect subsistence fishers, and more.
Our Corporate Partners
Local businesses partner with Baykeeper in our mission to defend San Francisco Bay from the biggest threats. These Bay stewards help make the Bay Area a healthy, thriving place to live and work.
Please note we are highly selective of our corporate partners and do not accept partnerships or gifts from polluting companies.
Blue Rivet AWards
To recognize many of our amazing community, corporate, and volunteer partners, we annually celebrate local heroes who have made a significant difference for San Francisco Bay with the Blue Rivet Award. The award includes a plaque with an actual Golden Gate Bridge rivet representing individual efforts by the many community members and businesses that join together to create a thriving, healthy San Francisco Bay.
