Rising seas threaten Bay Area economy, infrastructure, environment, says most detailed study yet
A 48-inch increase in the bay’s water level in coming decades could cause more than 100,000 Bay Area jobs to be relocated. Nearly 30,000 lower-income residents might be displaced, and 68,000 acres of ecologically valuable shoreline habitat could be lost. These are among the findings in the most detailed study yet on how sea level rise could alter the Bay Area.
