Talk by Will Travis, Exec. Director of the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), given at the 2010 University of California Museum of Paleontology Short Course. Between 1850 and 1960, land use reduced the size of SF Bay by 1/3. In 1965, legislation reversed the shrinking of the Bay, enhanced the Bay ecosystem, and advanced the region's economic prosperity. However, sea level rise from global warming could inundate vast low-lying shoreline areas. Our challenge is to provide a regional climate change strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, protect critical regional access, enhance natural resources, and adapt to the impacts of global warming and sea level rise.
