Once Upon A Bay

Michael Herz & Kate Josephs

Michael Herz founded Baykeeper and spent decades defending the health of San Francisco Bay. His wife Kate fell in love with it from 3,000 miles away — through his stories. Now they live on a trawler in San Pablo Bay and are sharing that trove with the world.
Shipwrecks. Whale migrations. Hippies, fish tales, courtroom battles, and secret CIA vessels. ONCE UPON A BAY explores the natural and human history of one of the most extraordinary bodies of water on earth... and the people fighting to protect it.
