“To put it super simply, where the Bay is going to be is going to be different. BCDC’s authority and the laws have not been changed to recognize that.” –David Lewis, Save The Bay Bay Area shoreline cities are now mandated to prepare for sea level rise, with guidance and approval from the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC). BCDC is hoping to have shoreline adaptation guidelines for cities by mid-September this year. These guidelines need to address the dire impacts of climate change. "Right now, current law and regulation doesn’t match up with an 'anticipation of where the shoreline is going to be, with sea-level rise,' Lewis said." These guidelines must support nature-based solutions like wetland restoration, address funding needs, and prioritize environmental justice for vulnerable communities.

As part of our aim to promote ocean conservation and climate justice, we submitted a letter to the National Strategy for a Sustainable Ocean Economy through the U.S. Federal Register. The letter outlined some critical areas of ocean conservation, including Ocean Protection, Climate Resilience, Inclusive decision making and Education and Outreach. It is pertinent to note that if we must protect the planet, inclusivity and pragmatic steps must be taken. It is good to note that good outcomes have been yielded from this step. We appreciate the U.S. Department of State and the Federal Government for their commitment to the fight against climate change. We remain committed to combating climate change and promoting environmental conservation. #climatechange #oceanconservation #climateactionnow #usa #ghana #advocacy #impact #youth

2moWe should also be pressuring infrastructure to scootch inland. "Its too expensive" is not a good excuse, especially when we look at how much money it currently costs to update/upgrade to meet standards AND all of the armoring/etc that will need to take place as water levels rise. We will be spending the money regardless, may as well be doing it right instead of continuing on the poor choices of people from 150 years ago.
