Waterfront Alliance

The Waterfront Alliance began as a project of The Municipal Art Society of New York. It became an independent organization in 2007 when a group of leading activists, businesses, foundations, and civic organizations came together with the goal of making the New York and New Jersey harbor a shared, resilient, and accessible resource for all.

Since then, the Waterfront Alliance has grown into an alliance of more than 1,100 organizations working together to bring about real change to our region’s waterways and 700 miles of shoreline, and the greater nation at large. Together, we build, transform, revitalize, and protect accessible waterfronts for all communities.
