Building on its regional assessment of Bay Area impacts from mid- and end-of-century sea level rise,Living With a Rising Bay, the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) has partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Coastal Services Center (NOAA CSC) to work with Bay Area communities in planning for sea level rise. The Adapting to Rising Tides (ART) project will be a collaborative effort involving community officials and stakeholders to address two specific questions:

How will sea level rise and other climate change impacts affect the future of Bay Area communities, ecosystems, infrastructure, and economy?

What strategies should we pursue, both locally and regionally, to address these challenges and reduce and manage these risks?
