About The Coalition

Our coalition has brought together organizations that traditionally work directly on waterfront issues with organizations that represent communities that live, work and play on the waterfront, and communities that have historically been left out of conversations about its future. The Coalition for a Resilient and Inclusive Waterfront is a vital gateway to bring new voices to the table on waterfront issues to ensure that diverse perspectives and communities are represented on these important issues.
