PHASE II ASSESSMENT: WETLANDS

  • Wetlands Significant Issues:
  • Rising sea level
  • Lack of migration space
  • Limited sediment supply
  • Management Priorities:
  • Investigating the feasibility and efficacy of wetland adaptation measures
  • Improving regulatory permitting for wetlands
  • Encouraging wetland restoration for shoreline protection of the built

environment

PHASE II ASSESSMENT: COASTAL HAZARDS

  • Coastal Hazards Significant Issues:
  • Rising sea level and groundwater rise
  • Temporary flooding (coastal storms, wave runup, riverine

flooding)

  • Compounding effects of multiple hazards
  • Management Priorities:
  • Planning for the impacts of rising sea level and coastal flooding
  • Coordinating equitable regional adaptation actions
  • Supporting local adaptation planning and implementation

processes

PHASE II ASSESSMENT: COASTAL AND ESTUARINE RESOURCES

  • Coastal and Estuarine Resources Significant Issues:
  • Rising sea level/coastal flooding
  • Public Access/restoration conflicts
  • Changing recreational boating needs
  • Management Priorities:
  • Addressing public access needs and conflicts.
  • Addressing changing needs of recreational boaters in the Bay
  • Updating coastal resource/use management plans

STRATEGY

  • Describes specific activities leading to program changes
  • To address the identified needs, gaps and opportunities
  • That could be achieved in the 5-year period from FY 2021-2025
  • Two strategies proposed
  • Strategy 1: Improve the Region’s Capacity to

Understand and Adapt to Current and Future Coastal Hazards

  • Strategy 2: Improve Coastal Management

Related to Water-Oriented Uses

STRATEGY 1

Improve the Region’s Capacity to Understand and Adapt to Current and Future Coastal Hazards Possible program changes:

  • Bay Plan amendments:
  • Fill for Shoreline Protection
  • Beneficial Reuse of Dredged Sediment
  • Adaptive Management
  • Suisun Marsh Protection Plan amendment
  • Bay Adapt Joint Platform implementation

STRATEGY 1

Improve the Region’s Capacity to Understand and Adapt to Current and Future Coastal Hazards Needs addressed:

  • Increase resilience of wetlands, communities,

and the built environment to rising sea level

  • Facilitate implementation of rising sea level

adaptation measures

SLIDE 23

STRATEGY 2

Improve Coastal Management Related to Water-Oriented Uses Possible program changes:

  • Policy amendments:
  • To address public access, restoration, sea level

rise, equity conflicts

  • To address changing recreational boating and

liveaboard needs

STRATEGY 2

Improve Coastal Management Related to Water-Oriented Uses Needs addressed:

  • Resolve conflicts between public

access and restoration with sea level rise and equity in mind

  • Address increased liveaboard demand
  • Improve management considering

changing recreational boating trends
