Our Coast, Our Future

Coastal resource managers and planners in the San Francisco Bay region can use locally relevant, online maps and tools to explore, visualize, and anticipate vulnerabilities related to sea level rise and storms.

The site uses a collaborative, user-driven approach to help users explore, visualize, and anticipate vulnerabilities to sea level rise and storms within San Francisco Bay and along the outer coast, from Half Moon Bay to Bodega Head. The site is potentially useful for the following planning processes:

  • Species protection plans, such as Habitat Conservation Plans
  • Restoration plans
  • Natural resource management plans
  • Municipal plans, such as General Plans, Climate Action Plans, and Local Coastal Plans
  • Infrastructure (levees, roads, etc.) maintenance plans
