Vanished Waters: History of Mission Bay | SoMa

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Mission Bay used to be much more than biotech industries and shipyards, before developpers razed the soft hills of SoMa to fill in this area, it was a beautiful tidal bay.

Find out more in this talk with Bob Isaacson and Ginny Stearns from the Mission Creek Conservancy.

Today Mission Bay is the moniker for a new UCSF biomedical campus. Some urban explorers know there is a Mission Creek with a houseboat community, too. In conjunction with the 2nd edition of the book Vanished Waters, we’ll take a visual cruise through the industrial and watery past of this former tidal bay, fed by the fresh waters of several local creeks and streams.
