Our Mission

The mission of Citizens for East Shore Parks (CESP) is to create a necklace of shoreline parks from the Oakland Estuary to the Carquinez Strait.

CESP works to conserve natural resources and wildlife habitat and to secure public access to shoreline open space along our magnificent East Bay shoreline.
Our Projects

Completing McLaughlin Eastshore State Park

CESP continues to work to complete MESP as outlined in the General Plan.

Expanding the Park through Richmond

Richmond is home to 32 miles of shoreline, the most of any city in the San Francisco Bay Area. CESP continues to monitor Pt. Molate, Breuner Marsh and shoreline north.

Establishing a Resilient Shoreline

CESP is in the organizing and study stage of addressing sea rise on our shoreline. We are working with other organizations and elected officials to examine practical approaches to green infrastructure solutions that can mitigate sea level rise and prevent coastal destruction.
