DEAR FRIENDS OF THE BAY INSTITUTE
AND AQUARIUM OF THE BAY:
When Bill Davoren
founded The Bay
Institute in 1981, he
envisioned a new advocacy
approach that viewed the
entire Bay-Delta ecosystem
as a single, interdependent
watershed. That vision
remains at the core of our
work today, with The Bay
Institute exerting an ever-widening influence on the
future health of the entire estuary.
What was once a fledgling grassroots effort
to protect the Bay has grown into a mature
organization that is now in an unmatched position
to effect positive change for the Bay—from the
farthest reaches of its watershed through the
Golden Gate and into the Pacific.
This progress didn’t happen overnight, or without
a struggle.
While The Bay Institute’s staff was busy with the
day-to-day efforts that have driven significant
victories—such as reconnecting the San Joaquin
River with the Delta and establishing protections
for the estuary’s endangered wildlife—behind the
scenes, our Board of Directors was undertaking
another task: forming a healthy organization with
the leadership, foresight and stamina to sustain
these efforts in the face of continued threats to the
Bay.
In this work, we are inspired by the unique
opportunity we have to build an organization that
can make a real difference in the way we—the
people of the Bay Area—interact with the living
treasure that surrounds and defines us. We are
grateful for your vital support.
Stephen N. Machtinger
Chairman of the Board
Although it’s only been
a little over two years
since The Bay Institute and
Aquarium of the Bay joined
together, we have blended
together each organization’s
unique strengths to create
one of the Bay Area’s most
influential environmental
non-profits. While building
this powerful new organization, we faced some
difficult decisions, and in 2010, we paired down
our administrative staff to recommit funding where
it would have the most impact: our programs.
Today, we have a combined staff of 127 employees
fully focused on programs that are delivering
results like the resurgence of the San Joaquin River,
helping government decision makers understand
the need to restore our devastated wetlands,
providing marine science education to thousands
of public school students, and inspiring millions
of Aquarium visitors to take personal action to
protect the environment. Moreover, we’ve just
expanded the Aquarium’s footprint to include a
270-seat theater, allowing us to inform an ever
growing audience about the need to protect the
Bay’s fragile eco-system.
These are no small feats. As our mission statement
makes clear, our vision is vast: protecting the
Bay from the Sierra to the sea. And as our
campaigns continue to grow in impact, so does
the involvement of our donors, sponsors and
partners. As you read through the quotes from our
supporters spread throughout this special report,
you’ll see we are bringing together a diverse group
of people and organizations in a successful effort
to protect the Bay for generations to come. Thank
you for being part of this important work!

Fighting for
Freshwater flows to San Francisco
Bay—which are key to the health
of the estuary’s fish and wildlife
and their habitats—have been
reduced by 50% on average in
recent years. The Bay Institute’s scientists
pioneered a unique methodology to determine
how much flow is needed to restore and
maintain the health of Bay-Delta fish and
wildlife and habitats. We fight to secure
adequate flows through regulatory, legislative
and planning efforts.
In 2010, our expert testimony formed the basis
for the report to the legislature by California’s
primary water regulator, the State Water
Resources Control Board, on the flows needed
to restore the Delta ecosystem—the most
controversial question in the “water wars.”
Since then, the Rivers and Delta Program
staff has been working with the State Water
For more than a decade, The Bay Institute has been a leader and an essential
partner in the fight to restore the San Joaquin River. The Bay Institute’s technical
expertise and sustained commitment were key to winning the settlement that is
returning flows and fish to the river.
- Hal Candee, Environmental Attorney

Farmer and restoration advocate, Walt Shubin, stands in the same
spot in the San Joaquin River channel before and after restoration
flows begin.
Resources Control Board to help shape what
will be the first new water quality standards
for the estuary in sixteen years. To educate the
public about the importance of flow to the Bay
and how flows are altered, we also published a
landmark guide to the problem, Gone with the
Flow in 2010.

Restoring
Since 1998, The Bay Institute has
worked with other environmental
organizations and government
agencies to adopt the ambitious
goal of restoring 100,000 acres of
wetlands along the shoreline of San Francisco
Bay. The biggest obstacle to achieving this goal
is not technical, but fiscal.
Historic funding levels for these kinds of
projects have been exceptionally low, but The
Bay Institute is playing a key role to ensure
that restored marshes in San Francisco Bay
will be the green infrastructure of the 21st
century. Our congressional leaders are now
6
supporting wetland restoration thanks largely
to our efforts to inform them that restored
marshes are critical to protecting the developed
shoreline from damage caused by accelerated
sea level rise due to global warming.
We have made it clear that restoring the Bay’s
wetlands will save hundreds of millions of
dollars compared to traditional hardscape
solutions to contain sea level rise. As a result,
Congress increased spending by over $100
million during the past decade, and bills
authored by Senator Dianne Feinstein and
Congresswoman Jackie Speier would add at
least another $100 million to that total.
I have enjoyed working with The Bay Institute over the years to protect the
San Francisco Bay and Delta.
Barbara Boxer, United States Senator

The Shrinking Bay

The historic tidal wetlands of the estuary
served as nursery areas for juvenile
fish, allowing them to take refuge from
predators while they grew large and
strong enough to travel through open
waters. The wetlands also provided
critical habitat for millions of migratory
waterfowl and shorebirds. The photo to
left shows the historical Bay ecosystem
circa 1770-1820.
San Francisco Bay Today
Beginning about the time of the California
Gold Rush in 1849, human alterations of
the estuary ecosystem commenced in
earnest, damming major tributaries and
reducing fresh water inflow to the estuary.
150,000 acres—more than 85% of the
Bay’s tidal marshes have been lost to
development. The photo to the left shows
the current Bay ecosystem.

Saving
One of the most exciting
environmental restoration
initiatives in the world is
underway on the San Joaquin
River, intended to bring back
spring-run Chinook salmon and reconnect
local communities to a revitalized river.
As a result of The Bay Institute’s successful,
decades-long fight to restore fish and flows to
the river, the first year of “interim” restoration
flow releases was completed in fall 2010.
These flows marked the first intentional
reconnection of the San Joaquin to the Delta
Marie Logan, SalmonAid Co-President

and San Francisco Bay in 65 years. Interim
releases are continuing, to be followed by the
reintroduction of salmon and provision of full
restoration flows over the next few years.
The Bay Institute and Aquarium of the Bay
also partnered with SalmonAid in 2010 and
again in 2011 to hold a month-long series
of events at Aquarium of the Bay, bringing
together scientific, environmental, fishing, slow
food and Native American interests to educate
the public on the challenges facing the West
Coast’s salmon population.
“In 2010 and 2011, SalmonAid hosted a series of events throughout the West
Coast to educate the public about the plight of West Coast salmon populations
and the rivers on which they depend. At Aquarium of the Bay, we had the
opportunity to inform thousands of visitors about the importance of protecting wild
salmon, the risks of farmed salmon to human health and the environment, and the
need to protect and restore our rivers for these majestic creatures.”

Protecting
San Francisco Bay and its
watershed are home to a
community of species found
nowhere else on earth, many of
which are at risk of extinction
from water projects, land conversion, toxic
discharges, exotic organisms and other
threats. The Bay Institute has been a leader
in the successful effort to win and implement
protections for species like delta smelt and
Chinook salmon that serve as indicators of the
estuary’s ecological health.
In 2010 and 2011, our scientists and policy
experts worked to defend these victories and
funding for environmental projects from
Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom
10
constant attack in Congress and the courts by
the powerful interests that export water from
the Delta.
We also made progress toward securing
new federal protections for other species
like longfin smelt and Sacramento splittail.
In important planning processes like the
Bay-Delta Conservation Plan and the Delta
Stewardship Council’s Delta Plan, Rivers and
Delta Program staff advocated for longer-term,
comprehensive reforms in water and resource
management in order to solve the underlying
causes behind declining populations and set
these species on the path to recovery.
Where the Sierra Nevada streams meet the waters of the Pacific—magic happens.
The San Francisco Bay enriches our soul, provides our climate and sustains our
economy. This global treasure is host to more than 750 species of fish, animals,
and birds, and home to 8 million people. I am committed to protecting this
amazing resource by working with The Bay Institute to educate and inspire
present and future generations.

Measuring the
In 2003, The Bay Institute issued
the first-ever Ecological Scorecard
for the Bay—widely acknowledged
by scientists and decision makers
as a valuable model for a sciencebased
assessment of ecological health of the
Bay. Since then we have been working with the
San Francisco Estuary Partnership, established
by the state of California and the federal
government, on an even more comprehensive
evaluation of the Bay’s health.
The end result, The State of San Francisco
Bay 2011, released in September 2011, paints
a mixed picture of efforts to manage and
restore the estuary. The new report’s sections
on indicators of flows, fisheries and water use
were prepared by The Bay Institute’s scientific
experts, and we will be working to provide
The Bay Institute helped establish the scientific foundation for The Estuary
Partnership’s 2011 State of the Bay Report with their excellent 2003 San Francisco
Bay Ecological Scorecard. We were able to key off of the effective methodology
The Bay Institute provides in those reports, which gives accessible and essential
information about the health of the Bay.
Judy Kelly, Director,
San Francisco Estuary Partnership

updates on these aspects of the Bay’s health on
a regular basis.

Educating the
We believe that providing free
science-based education programs
to local public school students
is critical to our mission. With
this in mind, we are broadening
Aquarium of the Bay’s free curriculum-based
education programs, which have served
more than 100,000 students, teachers and
chaperones over the past 15 years. With our
education system’s growing need for more
STEM (science, technology, engineering,
mathematics) programs, these programs are
paving the way for the next generation of
marine scientists. Grounded in science, the
Aquarium’s education programs adhere to
California State Science Standards (CSSS), one
of many reasons that they are in such high
demand by public school teachers across the
Bay Area.
12
New in 2010, the Discover the Bay Hybrid
Ferry program is a collaboration with Alcatraz
Cruises that provides an immersive learning
experience combining a trip aboard the
nation’s first hybrid ferry with a visit to the
Aquarium’s exhibits. This new program is ageappropriate
for 5th to 8th graders, focusing
on ecology, the food web, water chemistry and
history of the Bay, climate change and energy
saving technology. Although this program is
fee-based to cover costs, we also offer a limited
number of free Discover the Bay Hybrid Ferry
programs with support from Alcatraz Cruises.
The Aquarium also launched an initiative
to serve Bay Area special needs audiences in
2010. Funded by Union Bank, this initiative
began with the development of a Special
Needs Advisory Committee—a group of six
teachers, community groups and parents.

Aquarium staff has participated in professional
development trainings to enhance teaching
skills for special needs audiences, created a
new program reservation procedure to better
communicate with teachers about the needs of
their students, and hosted community events
in collaboration for Support for Families
of Children with Disabilities. We recently
received a second grant from Union Bank to
continue this initiative into 2012.
As part of our reorganization, The Bay
Institute’s STRAW (Students and Teachers
Karen, APT Gianni Middle School teacher
13
Restoring a Watershed) program allowed more
than 2,800 students to participate in habitat
restoration through planting more than 3,000
native species along local creek banks. In April
2011, our Watershed Education Program,
including STRAW, became part of our longtime
partner PRBO Science, affording us
an opportunity to continue to work closely
with PRBO Science on conservation and
education programs, while focusing on funding
our Rivers and Delta, and Bay Restoration
Programs.
To be outside, on the Bay, exploring several ecosystems helps the students feel
connected and empowered about their environment.

Educational Reach
Classroom programs and self-guided tours are free to all K-12 Bay Area schools and take place from mid September through early June of each
school year. Reservations are required. These are popular programs that book quickly.

Inspiring
When it comes to bringing
the message of environmental
responsibility to the public, we
have a huge sphere of
influence—more than 7 million
guests have visited Aquarium of the Bay’s
exhibits of local aquatic life since the doors
opened in 1996. Not only do we provide
visitors with the opportunity to get face-toface
with local marine animals, we also present
thought-provoking exhibits designed to spur
our visitors to take personal action. For
instance, Perils of Plastic, a temporary multimedia
exhibit that graphically portrayed the
damage that plastic garbage is causing to our
oceans, informed visitors about how they can
help solve this huge issue.
As San Francisco’s local aquarium, we
go beyond our exhibits to hold inspiring
community events throughout the year to
educate the public about sustainable seafood,
local salmon, sharks and other marine-related
Sandra Fletcher, President and CEO, Simco Restaurants
15
topics. In 2011, we opened the Bay Theater,
a 270-seat theater adjacent to the Aquarium’s
entrance that allows us to expand our
community outreach with film programs and
special events. It will also continue to serve as
home to the San Francisco Ocean Film Festival,
an annual celebration of films related to the
ocean.
Aquarium of the Bay is a founding member
of the San Francisco Seafood Watch Alliance,
a partnership with Monterey Bay’s Seafood
Watch ® program. Aquarium of the Bay
educates our guests about sustainable seafood
and the impact of personal choice through
tours, programs and literature. Moreover,
we work directly with local chefs and
restaurateurs to help them switch to fully
sustainable seafood options. Currently, 30
restaurant partners in the greater Bay Area
have now joined this initiative, and are serving
only 100% sustainable seafood on their menus.
Fog Harbor Fish House is excited to work with Aquarium of the Bay to become
Fisherman’s Wharf’s first sustainable seafood restaurant. We serve 220,000 visitors
every year with a menu that is now filled with 100% sustainable seafood, including
wild caught salmon, Dungeness crab and Pacific Cod.
