As our climate warms, sea levels will rise and San Francisco Bay will spill over the margins of its existing footprint. Governments are already planning to protect the main economic engines around the bay such as our ports and industrial facilities. But low-income neighborhoods in Richmond and West Oakland, and the wildlife habitats that are found around the bay may be left underwater.

The Wild Equity Institute is developing an innovative campaign to ensure that the disenfranchised and wild communities of our Bay aren’t forced to bear the brunt of sea level rise and changing ocean conditions. Working with ecologists, engineers, communities, and politicians with foresight, we are shaping our collective adaptation to the Bay to ensure that everyone is protected in the long run.
