The San Francisco Bay Trail Plaques

The San Francisco Bay Trail is marked by a series of brass plaques embedded directly into the sidewalk along the Embarcadero. These markers feature detailed illustrations and descriptions of local fauna, such as the Pacific Tree Frog and the Dungeness Crab. Each plaque provides a small, tangible window into the ecology of the bay, noting characteristics like the frog's nocturnal habits or the crab's movement across the sea floor.
