Mission

Citizens for East Shore Parks (CESP) is an environmental non-profit working at the forefront to preserve open space and create parkland along the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay. CESP was founded in 1985 to protect the shoreline from excessive development and protect and preserve open space and shoreline habitat and wildlife. We partner with communities, public officials, and organizations to advance sound shoreline environmental policies. We recently launched the Resilient Shoreline Program to address the effects of sea level rise in our communities.
