San Francisco Bay: New plan to combat sea level rise
There’s only one San Francisco Bay. But the Bay Area is made up of nine counties and 101 cities, each with its own politics, local rules and shorelines, differences that can make it complicated to figure out how to protect billions of dollars of highways, airports, sewage treatment plants, homes and offices from the rising seas, surging tides and extreme storms climate change is expected to bring in the years ahead. A new report released Thursday aims to make that gargantuan challenge a little easier.
