Project Adoption
** Please note that as of 9/23/2025 the SFBJV is no longer accepting new project adoption requests to be reviewed and adopted by the November Management Board meeting. Applicants are still welcome to apply, but they will not be reviewed until the next round in early 2026.**
JV project adoption provides many benefits, including improved project design, enhanced competitiveness for funding, and increased project visibility. See the full list of SFBJV Project Adoption Perks HERE.
Our Project Adoption Team (PAT) reviews and recommends habitat conservation projects for adoption by our Management Board. To be adopted by the SFBJV, projects must align with our goals and project criteria, and present their project to the SFBJV Conservation Committee (which meets quarterly).
The San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority gives priority to projects that are consistent with our Implementation Strategy. People applying for a Measure AA Grant must demonstrate their project is on our list or has consulted with the SFBJV Coordinator prior to applying.
Please reach out to our Conservation Coordinator for our Project Adoption Criteria.

Once a project is adopted by the SFBJV, it is added to our Adopted Project list as reference for funders and regional partners.
Active Projects
We provide periodic summaries of all our active and/or completed projects to illustrate the breadth and depth of our work. Current maps are posted here when they are available. Click HERE for a list (and HERE for the map) of proposed, completed, and in-progress or “active” SFBJV projects tracked in EcoAtlas.
We support partner project implementation in a variety of ways.
- Management of a project tracking database, Project Tracker/EcoAtlas, that gives a comprehensive view of restoration projects going on throughout the nine Bay Area counties, generates accomplishment reports and active project maps;
- Assistance with various elements of project design and implementation via project adoption and providing input to help projects succeed;
- Featuring partner accomplishments in our newsletter, on our website and in social media.
