SF Bay Future Tidal Marsh

Explore how sea level rise in the San Francisco Bay area may impact coastal marshes and the ecosystem services and habitat they provide. Coastal marshes provide essential ecosystem services, such as water filtration and flood abatement; they also provide important habitat for species of conservation concern. 

The Future Marshes Tool can help you:

• view and query maps to check how sea level rise may change the extent of tidal marsh habitat and bird species distribution over the next 100 years
• make informed decisions about adaptation planning, restoration potential, and land acquisition given various sea level rise and sedimentation scenarios
• identify areas that may be vulnerable or resilient to future sea level rise.
