Landmark Bay Area Regional Plan to Combat Sea Level Rise Unveiled | KQED
Briefly

"We have so many habitats that could potentially drown over the next 10 to 20 years, and then everyone's lifestyle is going to be impacted by flooding, whether or not they live near the shoreline," said Dana Brechwald, assistant planning director for climate adaptation with BCDC.
Janelle Kellman, a city council member for Sausalito, emphasized, "I fully endorse this idea of regional collaboration. This is absolutely the way we need to go," while wishing for actionable plans with detailed scopes.
San Rafael Mayor Kate Colin expressed concern about BCDC's plan, stating, "I have red flags. I think this plan is too rigid. I think it's too onerous. I really want cities to be met where they are."
Scientists predict over a foot of bay rise by 2050 and more than six feet by the end of the century in the worst-case scenario, intensifying flooding issues.
