Adaptation Report
Community Development Agency staff have worked with local residents and a variety of agencies and technical experts on developing adaptation strategies. The
Marin Ocean Coast Sea Level Rise Adaptation Report is a result of that effort. The
Adaptation Report is not a plan, but rather an informational document compiling adaptation options proposed to date to set the foundation for continued planning in West Marin.
Vulnerability Assessment
The C-SMART project team gathered information from technical advisors, utility managers, and coastal residents about potential sea level rise impacts. The resulting Marin Ocean Coast Vulnerability Assessment summarizes the expected timing and extent of impacts, laying a foundation of knowledge to guide adaptation planning. CDA staff presented the assessment to the
Planning Commission on November 9, 2015 and to the Board of Supervisors on November 17, 2015. The final Vulnerability Assessment was accepted by the Board of Supervisors on February 27, 2018. Thank you to everyone who submitted
public comments.

Building on information gathered through the Vulnerability Assessment and public outreach efforts, the project team is currently drafting an Adaptation Report and
Local Coastal Program Amendments.
Game of Floods was developed as a public education activity on sea level rise adaptation, including traditional flood protection measures such as levees and seawalls; green infrastructure approaches including horizontal levees, wetland restoration, and beach nourishment; and policy/zoning changes. Below is more information about adaptation strategies considered through the C-SMART.
