According to the San Francisco Estuary Institute, the San Francisco Bay baylands have been disappearing since the 1800s. In 1999, the Bay Area community set out to ensure that the bay had 100,000 acres of tidal marsh. This year the bay has 58,000 acres, some of them newly restored and evolving into marshlands.
An editorial in the San Francisco Chronicle urges Bay Area residents to "help spread the vision of a restored bay and persuade officials in the 101 Bay Area governments to share in it."
