Citizens for East Shore Parks (CESP) is dedicated to creating a network of shoreline parks from the Oakland Estuary to the Carquinez Strait, focusing on conserving natural resources, wildlife habitat, and public access to open spaces along the East Bay shoreline. Their Resilient Shoreline Program addresses the challenges posed by sea-level rise and climate change, ensuring the protection of critical ecosystems and community well-being. Since its inception, CESP has played a pivotal role in championing the establishment and completion of McLaughlin Eastshore State Park, originally formed in 2002 and renamed in 2012 in honor of co-founder Sylvia McLaughlin. The organization actively engages in legal and advocacy efforts to protect sensitive areas like Point Molate, emphasizing public recreation, environmental sustainability, and community involvement.
