Our Coast, Our Future has announced the addition of San Francisco Bay to their online planning resource tools. Bay Area coastal managers and planners now have a locally relevant, online map with associated data and tools to help understand, visualize, and anticipate vulnerabilities to sea level rise and storms over the next century and beyond. Questions related to restoration, climate adaptation, natural resource management, municipal, and infrastructure maintenance plans can all be addressed using the localized projections easily accessed once registered through their website.

California Climate Commons
is a searchable web-based library that offers a single starting point for discovery of California climate change data and information and the science that produced it. The Commons organizes relevant data, web resources, literature, and tools to help conservation managers keep up on the latest research and apply climate change science to conservation action in California. A project of the California Landscape Conservation Cooperative, the website is the official portal for products from all CA LCC-funded research. The Commons also features articles that introduce and explain important climate change-related topics, as well as side-by-side comparisons of tools that managers can use to explore and plan for the effects of climate change.
