Adaptation Atlas Data
This dataset is an ArcGIS map package containing the Operational Landscape Units and nature-based shoreline adaptation opportunities described in the San Francisco Bay Shoreline Adaptation Atlas. The map package includes the following layers:
- Operational Landscape Units, including the following components:
- Primary
- Submerged
- Contributing watershed
- Adaptation Measures, including suitability for:
- Nearshore reefs
- Submerged aquatic vegetation
- Mudflat augmentation
- Beaches
- Tidal marshes
- Polder management
- Ecotone levees [Version 2. See Technical Update (SFEI 2021) for details]
- Migration space preparation
- Green stormwater infrastructure
- Creek-to-baylands reconnection
This GIS dataset is not an adaptation plan. The dataset provides information on the suitability of nature-based measures according to the methods detailed in the San Francisco Bay Shoreline Adaptation Atlas. Additional study, planning, and engineering will be required to refine these opportunities.
