Building from the ART Subregional Project in Alameda County, the ART Program worked with East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) park managers and staff to take a closer look at shoreline parks in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. The project objectives were to develop a better understanding of park-specific vulnerabilities and consequences of flooding impacts, and to develop adaptation responses for both individual parks and the park district as a whole.
