To protect local neighborhoods and restore native habitats, the All Bay Collective is rethinking the shoreline around San Leandro Bay with the creation of Estuary Commons. Through the construction of ponds, landforms, and expanded streams, the communities of Deep East Oakland, Alameda, and San Leandro will not only be able to adapt to sea-level rise and groundwater flooding, but will also have a network of flourishing greenways to enjoy for generations to come.

The team has worked closely with eight community organizations from East Oakland to move the communities from the margins to the center of the design and planning process.
