Save the Shores (STS) is an environmental nonprofit to "preserve and promote inhabitant benevolence, environmental balance, and ecological health and integrity around Redwood Shores, California,” a waterfront community in Redwood City, California.[1]
History[edit]
Save the Shores was organized in early 2021 as a committee affiliated with the Redwood Shores Community Association to study the impact of Redwood LIFE, a proposed commercial life science campus redevelopment project in Redwood Shores.[2] The committee’s purpose was to study the proposal’s impacts on the environment, traffic, public health, and public safety.[3]
In November of 2021, Save the Shores evolved into an independent nonprofit organization to expand its focus on the broader effects of climate change on the local community, particuarly the threats of sea level rise and flooding.[4] The organization also provides environmental education on aspects of the 268-acre Redwood Shores Ecological Reserve.[5]
Programs[edit]
Say No to Big Development[edit]
Since 2021, Save the Shores’ advocacy efforts has been heavily focused on its “Say No to Big Development” campaign, raising awareness of environmental concerns regarding the recent commercial redevelopment proposals around Redwood Shores.[6] Contrary to the program's name, the organization does not oppose all redevelopment projects, but only large-scaled proposals the group believes are "unnecessary (or) could harm the environment, wildlife or community well-being.”[7] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the group's advocacy has largely been online with plans to expand into a hybrid model later in 2022.[8]
