About this Event

Fast-paced stories from the scientists who know the Bay best.

Surfing the East Bay mud. Chasing midnight storms. Mapping what can’t be seen.

Join us for an evening of live storytelling with environmental scientists from the San Francisco Estuary Institute. In five minutes or less, each speaker shares a true, personal story from the field—offering an insider’s view into the work of studying and protecting the San Francisco Bay and Delta.

In a special art-meets-science collaboration, the scientists will be preparing with Alameda storyteller extraordinaire JP Frary—a six-time The Moth StorySLAM winner—who will also emcee the evening as his protégés take the stage.

Expect insight, humor, and a deeper connection to the waters in our own backyard.


The Ocean Photographer of the Year exhibition will be open from 5.30pm. Come early to enjoy the gallery before our storytellers hit the stage between 7pm - 8pm. The exhibition will close at 8.30pm.


Bar and snacks will be available. Check out local dining options on the OPY eventpage.
