San Francisco Bay (1966, sound)

Description: "Conservation film made to discourage landfill and development of the wetlands of San Francisco Bay. The film shows the Bay's important role in recreation and commerce, its complex ecology and the threat posed to its health by pollution and real estate development. Note: Founded in 1961, the Save San Francisco Bay Association is now known as Save the Bay." - from Field Guide to Sponsored Films (2006), p. 80
