The San Francisco Bay is a vital asset that we all share. Wherever we live in the Bay Area, we all have a stake in what happens to it.

Through education, advocacy, and grassroots activism, the Bay Alive Campaign is building local and regional support for sustainable solutions, and community resilience to sea level rise around the Bay. We hope you’ll join us in this important work to keep the San Francisco Bay alive!

Tell BCDC, don't water down the RSAP!

This is our last chance to solidify a strong, regional approach to sea level rise for the San Francisco Bay, and ensure a thriving and resilient future for decades to come! The latest draft Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP) reflects our strong advocacy efforts and demonstrates the Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s (BCDC)’s commitment to regional coordination. But now they are being asked to weaken the RSAP’s requirements, which would severely undermine regional coordination and accountability. Please tell BCDC that to safeguard a sustainable future for Bay ecosystems and communities, alike, the RSAP must be strengthened, not watered down. The Bay Area needs a strong RSAP that prioritizes equity, natural and nature-based solutions (NNBS), and safety from contamination threats.

Read our joint statement, with dozens of like-minded organizations, to BCDC.
