Breuner Marsh Restoration and Public Access Improvement Project

The project restores coastal habitat and provides public access in a 150-acre area at Point Pinole Regional Shoreline. It restores or enhances approximately 60 acres of wetlands. It also fills a 1.5 mile gap in the San Francisco Bay Trail. The project includes public parking, restrooms, trails, picnic facilities and interpretive exhibits. The property was acquired to protect its scenic open space values, restore endangered species habitat and provide public access to the San Francisco Bay shoreline. The restoration project removes imported fill and contaminated soil, improves water quality, and creates new shoreline habitats for endangered species. It is designed to withstand 60 inches of sea level rise. The Park District provided $1M and the remaining $7.5M was provided through ten separate grants from the US Environmental Protection Agency, Coastal Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Board, ABAG, Castro Cove Trustees, US Fish & Wildlife Service, IRWMP, Dept. of Parks & Recreation, BCDC and Bay Trail.
