2 Project Background
Project Goals:
Increasing recreational opportunities, educational use, public access, water quality protection, enhancement of wildlife habitat, serving as a gateway to the river, creating a recreation destination, and economic opportunity.
This project was made possible with funding from the Coastal Conservancy.
The Coastal Conservancy is a California state agency, established in 1976, to protect and improve natural lands and waterways, to help people get to and enjoy the outdoors, and to sustain local economies along California’s coast. It acts with others to protect and restore, and increase public access to, California’s coast, ocean, coastal watersheds, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Its vision is of a beautiful, restored, and accessible coast for current and future generations of Californians. 1 2
