Islais Creek is a small creek running east out of San Francisco, into San Francisco Bay. The creek used to be the largest waterbody in the city, but over time was reduced to a channel. Islais Creek is situated near the Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant and is frequently contaminated with sewage and stormwater. Combined sewer overflows and sewage bypasses are an ongoing issue here. Recently, efforts are underway to restore the creek as part of plan to reclaim the waterfront. The future of Islais Creek at a recreational waterway for people to enjoy is looking up!
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is essential right now. Follow the advice of the health experts. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Heading to the beach should only be considered an option if social distancing practices can be followed. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter the efforts to curb the virus’ spread.
