Boating

The Sierra Club will be sponsoring a boating event for the public. The intent is to provide the public with a memorable, fun boating experience that will allow them to experience the North Richmond Shoreline wetlands in a new way and gain a new appreciation for their wetlands.

The Sierra Club will hire California Canoe and Kayak (CCK) to provide boats, life vests and other necessary equipment and a qualified leader to sheppard the public in short boating excursions. CCK will provide boats for upto eight public participants and their instructor. Additionally, the Sierra Club will provide 1-5 volunteers in their own boats and equipment to share the message about the wetlands and the importance of their preservation.

The public will be scheduled in 30 minute increments, eight at a time with an estimated 15-20 minutes of actual boating time. Boats will be kept close to the wetlands with perhaps a trip out to experience the eelgrass meadow depending on boater capabilities and marine conditions.
CCK’s instructor will be responsible for determine the marine conditions and making the determination of whether or not it is safe for inexperienced boaters.
