Baylands Goals and Climate Change: What Can We Do?
On November 17th, the Exploratorium will co-host with the San Francisco Estuary Institute an event to address what can be done to adapt to climate change in the San Francisco Bay Area. The recently released report, Baylands Goals and Climate Change: What Can We Do?, offers innovative and sustainable ways to work with, rather than against, the imminent challenges such as sea level rise and extreme weather events.
From 6pm to 8:30pm at the Exploratorium (Pier 15, Embarcadero and Green St, San Francisco), the following panelists will discuss the report's findings:
- Letitia Grenier, Co-Director of the Resilient Landscapes Program, San Francisco Estuary Institute
- Gil Kelley, Director of Citywide Planning, San Francisco Planning Department
- Benjamin Grant, Urban Design Policy Director, SPUR
Please join these experts to discuss the implications of the report and our planned responses to climate change. Email reserve@exporatorium.edu to reserve your spot!

Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals Project (Project)
SFEI's Letitia Grenier served as lead scientist of the Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals Project, which yielded a report called The Baylands and Climate Change: What We Can Do. The report is an update to the 1999 Baylands Ecosystem Habitat Goals, which for the first time set comprehensive restoration goals for the San Francisco Bay estuary. Produced by a collaborative of 21 management agencies working with a multi-disciplinary team of over 100 scientists, it synthesizes the latest science—particularly advances in the understanding of climate change and sediment supply—and incorporates projected changes through 2100 to generate new recommendations for achieving and sustaining healthy baylands ecosystems.
