The North Richmond Shoreline Open Space Alliance is a group of neighborhood, social justice, community and environmental organizations and individuals committed to saving access to the last remaining open space along the northern shoreline of Richmond, California between Point Molate and Point Pinole.

Once home to the Ohlone Indians, the shoreline, with its views of the Bay, improves our quality of life, provides us with healthy recreation and allows our diverse and historically underserved communities to have access to open space.

Habitat to millions of migrating birds including the endangered clapper rail, the shoreline's beautiful 500 acres of tidal marshes and 800 acres of mudflats are home to many threatened and endangered species.

Here, embracing the shoreline, grow two-thirds of all the eelgrass in the San Francisco Bay - its largest eelgrass bed. This is critical habitat for salmon and Pacific herring.

Please explore our website to learn more about the shoreline and how you can take action to save the shoreline.
