Growing up in Florida, many of my childhood activities were centered around Tampa bay, from boat rides to catching crabs off my dock. When I moved to the DMV area and visited my cousin’s house on the bay the difference in the health of the waters was astonishing. My expectation of clear waters and bustlings aquatic life was met with murky overgrown waters littered with trash. Save the Bay is working to create an environment that will protect wildlife and prevent pollution, creating a bay we can enjoy for years to come. 

CBF is committed to making the Bay and its rivers and streams—from New York to Virginia—healthy and productive again. I share their vision of sustainable populations of crabs, fish, and oysters; of waters where our children and grandchildren can swim safely.

CBF is funded mostly by individual donors like you and me. Donations large and small help support CBF's on-the-water field experiences for students and teachers, tree plantings, oyster restoration, advocacy for stronger laws protecting the Bay, and litigation against polluters when necessary.

Every gift makes a difference!

•  $25 can plant five native trees as a streamside buffer.
•  $50 can grow 5,000 native oysters.
•  $140 can send two students for a day of learning in and around the Bay.
•  $500 can build 10 reef balls which are effective and safe artificial homes for oysters.
