A Bold New Era of Conservation on San Francisco Bay! Make Your Tax-Deductible Donation Today.
The San Francisco Bay is a global treasure, yet rising vessel traffic and climate change threaten the whales, seals, and aquatic species that call it home. BayQuest was founded to answer one question:
What can we do to help?
What can we do to help?
What We Do
We provide a professional vessel-based platform for marine research and youth education. From tracking wildlife migration, testing water quality and monitoring underwater noise to hosting hands-on marine science trips for underserved youth, we are the eyes and ears of the Bay.

Why Your Support Matters
Our team has personally funded these vital voyages because we feel a deep connection to the Bay and its endangered wildlife. But to scale our operations, keep our research vessels deployed, and make marine science accessible to all, we need you on our crew!
