A Shoreline for All: How Citizens and Government Worked Together to Restore the Hayward Shoreline in the 1970s and 1980s

“A remarkable collaboration between citizens and government accomplished one of the most complex environmental restoration projects in history between 1970 and 1990. This collaboration regained the public’s access to the Hayward Shoreline and preserved a unique ecology.

This work also generated crucial new knowledge. Educators at Cal State East Bay and Hayward’s K-12 public schools created sophisticated inquiry-based science curricula engaging students in research. This collaborative work is historically significant and unique to Hayward.
