The Greater Farallones Association is a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, California, dedicated to conserving and promoting California’s marine environment. It serves as a nonprofit partner to NOAA’s Greater Farallones and Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuaries, focusing on science, conservation, and education to steward roughly 4,600 square miles of ocean along the California coast. The organization supports efforts that address the health of marine ecosystems, including the protection of bull kelp forests, and collaborates with federal agencies to address environmental challenges. Its work targets stakeholders who rely on or study coastal oceans, including scientists, policymakers, educators, and conservation partners, by providing research, advocacy, and educational resources within the nonprofit sector. The association operates within the broader ocean conservation field and is led by an executive director, who began leading the organization in 2019, bringing decades of experience in environmental nonprofits. A notable recent development is a partnership with NOAA Fisheries announced in 2024 to address the decline of bull kelp forests.
