The San Francisco Bay Joint Venture
(SFBJV) is one of fourteen Joint Ventures
established under The Migratory Bird Treaty
Act and funded under the annual Interior
Appropriations act. It brings together
public and private agencies, conservation
groups, development interests, and others
to restore wetlands and wildlife habitat
in San Francisco Bay watersheds and along
the Pacific coasts of San Mateo, Marin
and Sonoma counties.
The goal of the San Francisco Bay Joint
Venture is to protect, restore, increase
and enhance all types of wetlands, riparian
habitat and associated uplands throughout
the San Francisco Bay region to benefit birds,
fish and other wildlife.
The San Francisco Bay Estuary is the nation's
second largest and perhaps the most biologically
significant estuary on the Pacific Coast.
