Marin Sea Level Rise

Rising sea levels and more severe storm flooding as a result of climate disruption are impacting us here in Marin County. These impacts are expected to increase in frequency and severity as sea level rise accelerates.

The Final Tomales Bay Living Shoreline Project will be presented to the public on January 24, 2022 at 5:00 pm. Register to participate in the meeting.
