New Partner Project Featured
on SFBJV Website   

Every 6-8 weeks we feature a new partner project that has either reached a new milestone, is steeped in the planning phase, closing in on implementation, or has some design detail we believe our Bulletin audience will be interested in reading about.   This month we are featuring a project that is situated in the depths of San Francisco and boasts a variety of these elements.   Our banner photo is an image of the view facing south – do you know where it is?  Find out more here.
If you would like to be featured, please contact SFBJV Outreach Coordinator, Caroline Warner.

Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment for the North-central California Coast & Ocean 

This assessment is a foundational piece of the Climate-Smart Adaptation Project for the North-central California Coast and Ocean, a collaborative project working to integrate climate-smart adaptation into existing management frameworks, and provide guidance to help ensure long-term viability of local marine ecosystems.  This critical information enables more appropriate and effective management planning and response to climate change impacts on the region’s focal resources.  Find it here.
