We Are RENEW SF BAY (RSFB)
We are a volunteer group with a shared mission of renewing the San Francisco Bay coastal ecosystems through cooperation with nonprofit and governmental organizations and community volunteers. We are starting with Oyster Reefs, but our activities will expand as we learn and grow.
We have started a cooperation with the city of Brisbane, that is the land owner of where the oyster Base Camps and oyster reefs will be initiated. We have been advising them about access to fundraising and they have filed an application.
Our aspiration is to serve as a model for similar revitalization initiatives worldwide. Here is an overview, ways in which you can donate and and events calendar. We welcome your involvement!!

We are excited to tell you that we will now be registering for a full blown Nonprofit organization with full 501 (C) 3 status. We will be updating our website and all of your donations to us will become tax deductible.
AN OVERVIEW
Here is a snapshot of our thinking and planning. This gives you a background of the map and the efforts of the whole bay, our initial planned locations, our restoration blueprints (initial strategy on establishing oyster reefs), and strategy to encourage your involvement. We will add to this our strategy for planting eelgrass beds. Our full RSFB Blueprint is posted on one of our other pages. Please click on the button and download and read our Overview.

SEPTEMBER 21, 2024 - COASTAL CLEANUP DAY
We cleaned up the locations in September where we plan to plant oyster reefs. Our brother and sister species deserve a clean environment, free of trash and plastics that cause problems for them. It was a great clean up activity and we will post more clean up activities in the future.
