San Francisco Bay Joint Venture

We are a partnership of land and resource managers, scientists, advocates, regulators, funders, and other decision makers who are conserving wetlands through partnership-driven collaboration.

The Power of a Partnership

Partnerships are powerful when people share a common vision. Our mission to protect wetland habitats throughout the San Francisco Bay region for the benefit of birds, fish, and other wildlife originally brought together a dedicated group of visionaries in the mid 1990s, many of whom still actively participate in our JV. Over the years we have steadily welcomed new partners and a diversity of ideas to help us stay relevant and keep us on track toward achieving our mission. We continue to assess our approach and identify new strategies and actions needed to realize this shared vision amidst changing times. We are grateful for and proud of the relationships we have built to deliver coordinated habitat conservation on behalf of the Bay Area.

With a shared passion for birds and their wetland habitats, we believe by working together, our partnership has the power to positively impact birds, other wildlife and people through our efforts and ambitious conservation goals.
