Our Activities
Public Meetings. Waterfront Action
holds frequent public meetings devoted to waterfront improvements,
plans, and developments. These meetings bring together community
members, developers, agency and government officials to consider issues
and projects related to our region's waterfront. These sessions
are one of Waterfront Action's most significant contributions; to get a
sense of their scope, view the history of our meeting agendas.
Public Education. We provide a website
and E-mail
newsletter that communicate current information about the
estuary and Lake Merritt. Waterfront Action provides an
educational booth at a range of public events and fairs.
Public Voice. Waterfront Action speaks
in support of the Estuary Policy Plan and Lake Merritt Park
Master Plan in public meetings and forums.
