The San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge is part of a complex made up of 7 wildlife refuges in the San Francisco Bay Area. Founded in 1974 and administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge exists to conserve, restore, and protect bay wetlands for threatened and endangered species and migratory birds. It operates under the mission statements of the Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, National Wildlife Refuge System, and San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge.
San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge offers stretches of knee-high pickleweed, open bay waters with rafts of canvasback ducks riding the currents, and the timeless ebb and flow of the tidal wetlands. This refuge provides vital habitat for threatened and endangered species as well as millions of migrating waterfowl, shorebirds and our local resident wildlife. |
