San Francisco Bay is the largest and most productive estuary on the
Pacific Coast of North America. It is also home to the oldest and
densest urban settlements in the American West. Focusing on human
inhabitation of the Bay since Ohlone times, Down by the Bay reveals
the ongoing role of nature in shaping that history. From birds to
oyster pirates, from gold miners to farmers, from salt ponds to
ports, this is the first history of the San Francisco Bay and Delta
as both a human and natural landscape. It offers invaluable context
for current discussions over the best management and use of the Bay
in the face of sea level rise.
