The Sierra Club has developed a number of policies that govern how we respond to Sea Level Rise.  The Bay Alive Campaign has distilled those policies into a Position Book that spells out the relevant positions as they relate to Sea Level Rise in the San Francisco Bay. 


General Resources Related to Sea Level Rise in San Francisco Bay

There are many great resources relating to sea level rise in existance, due to the complex nature and importance of the subject. A good place to start would be with several sites that map the results of sea level rise along the edge of the Bay. These sites also do a good job of explaining some of the science related to the phenomenon.
