Listening in on the morning sounds of the bay! #sanfranciscobay #wildlifeconservation #marinescience

Well you don't find these in a coastal tide pool but they're still pretty neat! #communityscience

If you have to spend time on land, might as well be at a cozy cabin in the Redwoods!

Nothing like sunset on San Francisco Bay when a young gray whale suddenly surfaces! Can you see it?

Fantastic day with new and old friends from a community united to preserve and protect our feathered visitors and shoreline residents! Come out today and enjoy bird talks, bird walks, kids activities and a wide assortment of interesting exhibitors. The event is FREE and fun for all ages!

A juvenile gray whale has been spotted nearshore in the south bay. Last year, 24 whales died in and near the San Francisco Bay. Let's do all we can to keep these magnificent friends healthy, happy and safe! #graywhale #sanfranciscobay #wildlifeconservation #humpbackwhale

Celebrating our 15th mission collecting acoustic data and conducting wildlife surveys in the near coastal waters of San Francisco. We are studying whales and ways to better protect them. In case you missed it, check out the recent feature on CBS News Bay Area: www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco...

The ocean’s underwater world is an ambient symphony of sound. Whales, dolphins and other species rely on sound to hunt for prey, communicate and as a navigation aid during migrations. We are exploring the soundscape in our local waters to study human impacts on this delicate ecosystem.

Another successful mission at the Golden Gate to pull acoustic samples, conduct wildlife surveys and visual observations. Thanks to our friends at the @sfestuaryinstitute.bsky.social for offering an EXO2 sensor to test the waters for salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen. bit.ly/4ixBr9O

Just an hour north of San Francisco, this coastal hamlet holds both natural and cultural significance. Responsible stewardship of this vital ecosystem begins with respect. #duxburyreef #sanfrancisco #indigenouspeople
