Planetizen - "A blueprint outlining how San Francisco Bay communities should
combat sea-level rise was released by ecosystem
scientists and urban planners who envision a ring of man-made reefs,
rocky beaches and graded marshlands around the largest estuary on the
Pacific coast," reports Peter Fimrite.
The San Francisco Estuary Institute and SPUR created the San Francisco Bay Shoreline Adaptation Atlas,
proposing major changes to existing seawalls, rip rap, culverts and
other fortifications that are unlikely to weather the impacts of rising
seas.
"The idea […] is to build eco-friendly features that support wildlife
and absorb, rather than repel, the rising tides," explains Fimrite.
