Protecting the Heart of the Bay
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 We Do
AsWe 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.
