Trash and marine debris threaten San Francisco Bay and the wildlife that depend on it. When trash reaches the Bay, it entangles, poisons, strangles, and kills Bay animals. Plastic is accumulating faster than it breaks down.
These Bay Trash Hot Spots show some of the worst trash pollution in San Francisco Bay. A typical hot spot has a creek or storm drain outfall bringing trash downstream to the Bay, where tides push back to trap trash at the shoreline. Visit Save The Bay to watch videos, image slide shows and more.
