How Clean is Clean?

Cleanup officials have begun to tell us that their efforts are working and that our shorelines are clean. Yet we still see goopy oil along the shorelines and in our water, and distressed wildlife throughout the Bay. The San Francisco Bay's open water habitats, intertidal mudflats, rocky shores, salt ponds, and marshes all form the iconic waterway that defines the character and community of the Bay Area.

Baykeeper will not let the polluter off the hook when there is more work to be done. We need your help to document oil sightings in your area so that we can get contractors and volunteers out to clean up every drop of oil.

Leave us a comment here or send accounts and photos of what you see this weekend (what, how much, where, and when) to volunteer@baykeeper.org. Areas that are hard to see from flyovers or motor boats are of particular importance.
