Overview

To help our members and the broader region understand the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission’s Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RSAP), Bay Planning Coalition launched a briefing series focused on the plan’s implementation process, requirements, and goals. The series is designed to support public agencies, industry partners, and community stakeholders as they navigate emerging RSAP pathways, identify opportunities to engage, and prepare for the region’s long-term adaptation needs.

Session 1

Your Role in RSAP: Engaging as a Shoreline Stakeholder

The inaugural briefing in the Implementing Resilience series was held in a hybrid format at Moffatt & Nichol’s Walnut Creek office and online. Representatives from BCDC and Civic Edge Consulting provided an overview of RSAP development and shared guidance on how shoreline stakeholders can engage in upcoming phases of the plan.

The session took place on December 16 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM, with participation both in person and via Zoom. The discussion focused on stakeholder roles, anticipated implementation pathways, and near-term opportunities to stay involved as RSAP moves forward.

Future Sessions

Future briefings in the Implementing Resilience series will continue to explore key aspects of RSAP implementation, including financing and funding strategies, national examples of adaptation, implementation of nature-based shoreline solutions, and additional topics identified by our members.

Upcoming sessions will be posted on this webpage, and announcements will be shared through Bay Planning Coalition’s distribution list. To ensure you receive future announcements and registration details, please complete the sign-up form below.
