"When you put your hand in a flowing stream, you touch the last that has gone before and the first that is still to come."
Leonardo da Vinci
The San Francisco Bay is the largest estuary on the West Coast of the U.S. where fresh water from the Central Valley mixes with the salt water of the Pacific. Crabs, clams, fish and birds live in its deepwater channels, marshes and tidelands.

A Benefit to Support the Living Shoreline Initiative

Thursday, May 17, 2012
7:00pm - 9:30pm
The Aquarium of the Bay, The Embarcadero & Beach Street, San Francisco

Join The Watershed Project, host Wendy Tokuda, and James Beard Award-winning author Paul Greenberg for oysters, champagne, libations, and hors d'oeuvres from the Bay Area's finest sustainable restaurants, wineries, and breweries. Learn about our native oysters while helping restore the critical underwater ecosystems of our magnificent San Francisco Bay!

Oysters were once ubiquitous in the San Francisco Bay. Unfortunately, due to ecosystem degradation, the native oyster population has plummeted over the last 150 years. The Watershed Project's Living Shoreline Program educates youth and adults about the importance and benefits of oyster reefs as an essential part of our ecosystem.
