The Friends of Mission Bay Marshes is a new organization, founded on February 12, 2010. We are currently drafting a master plan that encompasses our vision of the future of the marshes, the role they play within the community, and the model that may be provided from their restoration. Our website is new and under development, and we invite you to check back frequently for updates and additions.
