Coming up on 10/02 in Berkeley! Catch this screening of CHASING CHIMERAS, which exposes the fossil fuel industry's push for false climate "solutions" while endangering communities & delaying real climate action @foodandwater.bsky.social @biofuelwatch.bsky.social www.mobilize.us/fww/event/82...

New victory for Richmond's Pt Molate & open space in the Bay Area 🎉 The East Bay Regional Parks District is going to turn this beautiful stretch of Bay shoreline into a regional park -- a win for everyone who loves parks & sweeping views! eastbayexpress.com/ospreys-and-...

Opinion: California salmon runs in danger of extinction if Newsom fails to act www.mercurynews.com/2025/09/23/o...

"Newsom desperately wants to win approval for his tunnel so he can claim that he's done more than President Trump to help Central Valley industrial nut farms & corporate landowners," as Baykeeper scientist @jarosenfield.bsky.social told @climatedaddykqed.bsky.social www.kqed.org/science/1998...

Newsom’s Push to Fast-Track Delta Tunnel Fails, Moving Fight to High-Stakes Hearing “Newsom wants to win approval for his tunnel so he can claim that he’s done more than Trump to help ... nut farms & corporate landowners." @kqednews.kqed.org @kqedscience.bsky.social www.kqed.org/science/1998...

We need your help! Newsom is trying to get the legislature to waive key environmental protections. Please call your reps ASAP and tell them to oppose any trailer bills that eliminate CEQA review of updates to the Water Quality Control Plan for the SF Bay-Delta 🌊 findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov

Hey, Bay Area: join us to rally against this carbon pipeline!

On Tuesday, join us & our allies to rally against a dangerous pipeline near the Bay's communities & sensitive wetlands! This project would put people and wildlife at risk—while doing nothing to protect our climate. baykeeper.org/press_releas...

🚨 A coalition of environmental justice orgs, Tribes, Delta advocates, and taxpayer groups today sent a letter to the California Leadership and Members of the Budget Committees, urging them to reject Governor Newsom’s proposed Delta Tunnel. 🔗Read more: bit.ly/4615L7x

Big win for one of California's most ancient--and imperiled-- species! The Feds now have to take action to assess the Bay's White Sturgeon population and ensure they have the protections they're entitled to under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct

Did you know that Chevron is the 5th largest owner of farm land in the Central Valley? CA land is being snapped up by investment firms & opaque holding companies with little transparency--and serious implications for the environment: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open... @adamcalo.bsky.social

SB 404 would exempt metal shredders from hazardous waste laws despite the industry's longstanding history of pollution--notably Schnitzer Steel (aka Radius) in West Oakland @woeip.bsky.social

Deep gratitude to Sejal Choksi-Chugh, Executive Director of @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social, for sharing Baykeeper’s story last night. Proof that a small team of scientists, attorneys & advocates can take on big polluters and win for SF Bay. 🌊💪 #OceanHoptimism #SFBaykeeper

The amazing Catherine Breed just broke a world record in her 30-mile swim from the Farallones to the Golden Gate! She is the 7th person in the world to complete the treacherous swim. "Grit is your superpower," is one of her favorite sayings 🏊‍♀️ www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

This Thursday: SF Bay + justice + great beer. 🌊🍺 Join Ocean Hoptimism with Sejal Choksi-Chugh of @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social. Holding polluters accountable & lifting frontline voices. Don’t miss the fight for the Bay. #OceanHoptimism #SFBaykeeper #BSkyBeer

$100 billion for a project Metropolitan Water District can’t explain? 🤔 @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social Managing Attorney, Eric Buescher, recently conducted a cross-examination of Brandon Goshi, Group Manager of Water Resource Management on the Delta Conveyance Project. @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social

We and our partners are calling on @governor.ca.gov for tougher rules on plastic pollution -- rather than loosening them at the behest of special interests www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/19/w... @paulrogerssjm.bsky.social @mercurynews.com

Join us in August 28 to hear how San Francisco Baykeeper turns legal pressure into clean water, and why this moment, right now, is ripe for wins. Because yes, there are real threats. And yes, there’s real hope. 🌊 🌁 #OceanHoptimism #ActForTheBay #SFBay

Meet the "peeps" -- a guide to our Bay shorebirds from the @alamedapost.com alamedapost.com/features/nat...

On the other side, we’re going to build floating districts to adapt to higher seas, rain-driven floods and higher groundwater. They’re going to be great places to live, where we learn to be creative and trust each other instead of hoarding resources. We can adapt to higher water. 2/n

🚨16 DAYS🚨 until Sejal Choksi-Chugh, ED of @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social, drops truth bombs (and hope bombs) at Ocean Hoptimism! Fierce defender of clean water, wetlands, and wildlife, she’s got receipts. Save your seat at Eventbrite: bit.ly/45g9yyT #OceanHoptimism #SFBaykeeper #CleanWaterWins

As the Richmond Shoreline Alliance has pointed out, a full cleanup of the United Heckathorn Superfund site is needed to resolve the problem at its source--and avoid compounding consequences later www.mercurynews.com/2025/08/05/c... @sierralopez.bsky.social

🚨 BREAKING: Today, advocates for Delta communities, tribes, and environmental justice denounced the Newsom Administration’s “Delta Conveyance Accountability Action Plan”. Excluding communities & pushing destructive policies has become too familiar, @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social. 🔗 bit.ly/3HpeAzP

We can show you science-based advocacy, wetlands development stopped, polluters held accountable, and #SFBay recovery. We can’t make you a hopeful person. That part’s on you. On Aug 28, @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social brings the stories. You bring the willingness to join the the fight. #OceanHoptimism

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐 In an average year, California diverts more than 50% of the Central Valley river flows BEFORE they reach the San Francisco Bay. In dry years, that number rises to over 70%. Our team continues to oppose the project with expert analysis from partners like @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social.

We are continuing to see fluctuations greater than a foot along our coast. Therefore, the Tsunami Advisory remains in effect until further notice. https://x.com/NWSBayArea/status/1950579996939972996

Legacy toxic sites are becoming increasingly vulnerable to rising groundwater: "It's like a graveyard," said @kzhill.bsky.social. "Everything we've done in the past is coming up with that groundwater to haunt us in the present." www.kqed.org/science/1997... @climatedaddykqed.bsky.social

📢 If you love the SF Bay, you need to know who’s protecting it. @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social, led by Sejal Choksi-Chugh, takes on polluters so the rest of us don’t have to. But that doesn’t mean we sit back. She’s bringing ways you can show up and make waves. Want hope? Want action? This is it. Aug 28

What a gorgeous weekend! Got in some birding in alameda. Managed to see least, caspian, elegant, and forster's terns, plus a bunch of black oystercatchers, and one black skimmer skimming. Funniest though was watching a long billed curlew reposition itself to use another curlew as a wind block 😆

"This latest plan is a shocking display of cowardice," as our science director @jarosenfield.bsky.social told @ra-becks.bsky.social Newsom's plan would be devastating for already hard-hit fisheries, Chinook salmon & other native fish & wildlife, and local communities calmatters.org/environment/...

We’re so proud to announce our August speaker at Ocean Hoptimism: ✨ Sejal Choksi-Chugh ✨ Executive Director of @sfbaykeeper.bsky.social and one of the fiercest defenders of the Bay you’ll ever meet. Her talk? “Making Sure Every Day’s a Good Day for the Bay” 📅 August 28, 7-8pm #OceanHoptimism #SFBay

There are many problems with Trump's plan to reopen #Alcatraz but one of the big issues is... poop. More specifically, SF's already overflowing sewer/stormwater system and the high cost of providing water & sewage services on the island www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/a... @taraduggan.bsky.social

"The danger is we're shifting the blame over to predators when the real problem is that the habitat has deteriorated," as biologist @andrewrypel.bsky.social says: "I worry that we're taking our eye off the ball." @mavensnotebook.com @jarosenfield.bsky.social

Very cool pilot project that uses plants & fungi to remove and break down toxic contaminants - hopefully we'll see more of this around the Bay Area!

Oysters, Snails and a Wall That Protects Against Climate Change — One Tile at a Time “There do appear to be a few more species on the more complex tiles, especially native Olympia oysters, a species of conservation concern" @kqednews.kqed.org @kqedscience.bsky.social www.kqed.org/science/1997...

There's PFAS in the fish. PFAS is legit scary. Why don't people pay attention to fish consumption advisories? Well, I get it. Reading this took me back to times when I chose to fish in suspect locales so I could eat something besides lentils. baynature.org/2025/06/24/t... @baynature.org

"Sometimes, when the world closes in, the best thing to do is to go on a small adventure, perhaps to an island with trees, trails, beaches and wild animals." www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/nati... @sfchronicle.com

We need your help keeping an eye out for #algae blooms in the Bay 🦠 As the weather heats up, conditions will be ripe for harmful algae blooms. If you see coffee-colored, red, or bright green water in the Bay, take photos & reach out to our pollution hotline: baykeeper.org/report-pollu...

LA has achieved meaningful change in its water use through conservation & technological upgrades. Really a shame that Bay Area water agencies aren't investing nearly as much in water recycling, stormwater capture, and conservation! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/h...

If you're interested in #water & #movies, here's my list of Water at the Movies, from classic fights over water rights in early westerns to the good (and bad) post-apocalyptic sci-fi flicks where water is the most important resource.

Fascinating piece from @lauraklivans.bsky.social about an Oakland block's efforts to ditch fossil fuels--and what they learned in the process www.kqed.org/science/1997... @kqednews.kqed.org

The United Heckathorn Superfund site in Richmond houses dangerous pollutants, including DDT, right along #SFBay shoreline. It's time to clean it up! This Thursday, join us at EPA's latest community discussion on Zoom to learn more & demand action! Register: cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/cu...

Thanks for sharing @stevemeier853.bsky.social! For more about the trial, here's our latest update: baykeeper.org/enews/update...

Big win! The 9th Circuit has ruled that the EPA must update its pollution controls--many of which are decades out of date--for oil refineries and chemical plants! 👏👏👏 baykeeper.org/press_releas... @climateintegrity.org @biologicaldiversity.org

Great yarn from @tanvidg.bsky.social about how 20 MILES of creek will be opened up to fish after DECADES! (And meet the fellow whose baby this has been for so many years.) Thinking of all those who take on enviro projects that seem almost impossible at the start. baynature.org/article/afte...

People are harming the Bay's wildlife--often out of misplaced concern. Marin particularly "has an exceedingly high number of severe disturbances with young seal pups, which can be life-threatening interactions,” said Giancarlo Rulli of the Marine Mammal Center www.eastbaytimes.com/2025/06/16/s...
