Image of Ocean Beach in San Francisco with text: "Tell State Officials: Stop Selling the Bay’s Sand for Concrete. One of the biggest threats to California’s coast and shorelines happens out of sight along the Bay’s floor, where private companies have been mining sand for over a century. The companies then sell the sand for profit—mostly to be turned into concrete and asphalt. Continued unsustainable sand mining will harm native wildlife and lead to greater vulnerability to sea level rise."

Photo of the Clifton Court Forebay by John Chacon with quote from Jon Rosenfield, science director for SF Baykeeper: "California can protect San Francisco Bay and its watershed, while still providing enough water for agriculture and cities to thrive. Instead, Newsom is continuing his campaign to divert yet more water, needlessly sacrificing California’s native fish, valuable fisheries, water quality, and the communities that depend on them."
Photo of a white sturgeon with quote from Baykeeper scientist Jon Rosenfield: "White sturgeon have been around for about 46 million years. They are the ultimate survivors, but the Bay's population might not survive into the next generation because of neglect from government agencies that are supposed to protect our Bay and its fishes."
