BAY FOUNDATION OF MORRO BAY

The Bay Foundation was formed with a sister organization, the Friends of the Estuary, in June 1989, and recognized as a 501(c)(3) in 1990. The Bay Foundation served as a proponent of scientific study and data gathering about the health of Morro Bay, while the Friends of the Estuary served an advocacy role to promote stewardship of Morro Bay. Both organizations were essential in the effort to designate Morro Bay as an estuary of national significance under the Clean Water Act, and both helped to form the Morro Bay National Estuary Program in 1995... Our mission is to lead in restoring, enhancing, and protecting the marine resources and watersheds of Morro Bay and the Central Coast of California.
