Cargill: Don't Fill San Francisco Bay!

Cargill: Don't Fill San Francisco Bay!

The Issue

Minnesota-based agribusiness giant Cargill Inc. is threatening to fill in and build on more than 1,400 acres of Bayfront salt ponds in Redwood City. Save The Bay has written to Cargill’s CEO to tell him that San Francisco Bay cannot be sacrificed for profit. If these former tidal wetlands are no longer needed for salt production, the site should be restored instead.

Save The Bay is telling Cargill to sell or transfer the property to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to be included in the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and restored.

Your voice will help Save The Bay to fight Cargill and preserve this threatened former tidal wetland site.

Please join Save The Bay today to help us win this urgent battle for the future of our Bay. Take action now to help stop Cargill from filling in and paving San Francisco Bay!
