Founded by Catherine Kerr, Sylvia McLaughlin, and Esther Gulick in 1961, the organization grew into a body that not only achieved its namesake but also inspired analogous organizations dedicated to other environmental and other political causes. The organization continues to fight to protect the bay from development and landfill and to oppose redevelopment of salt flats; it instead encourages their restoration to a natural state. HistoryThe organization helped to spark the environmental movement in the United States. The women were successful in saving the bay. They lobbied the state government until state legislation in 1965 established the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission as a state agency. The commission drew up a master plan for San Francisco Bay, which provided for orderly development as well as preservation. It was the first such agency in California and later inspired the creation of the California Coastal Commission. TodayThe organization still works to protect the wildlife of the Bay Area and water quality of the uniquely large inland body of water.[1][4] when it was founded it was the first successful regional grassroots campaign to achieve that sort of goal.[1] Save The Bay prevented the destruction of San Bruno Mountain to fill 27 miles (44 km) of the San Mateo County shoreline.[1] The founders' main goal was to preserve the natural beauty of the bay.[1] Their efforts have also been noted as the first successful conservation efforts in an urban area.[1] The women's efforts led to the creation of the Bay Conservation and Development Commission, which was later used as the blueprint and inspiration for other government commissions such as the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, California Coastal Commission, and Delta Stewardship Council.[1] Plastic bag bansThe organization has also embraced and pushed for plastic bag bans throughout the entire region. It includes strong support for strengthening the San Francisco plastic bag ban in 2011 that banned all retailers from giving out bags made of non-biodegradable materials.[5] Save The Bay supported the 2012 San Jose, California, ban on plastic bags.[6] See also{{portal|Environment|San Francisco Bay Area}}
