The County of Marin’s Community Development Agency released an update to the Coastal Communities Working Group in June, elaborating on the group’s mission and objectives, and details on the progress being made on the Stinson Beach and Tomales Bay living shoreline feasibility studies. With these updates, EAC will continue to support communication between the County and the greater West Marin community, and to provide our community with project updates and opportunities for input, so we may collectively advocate for the best interests of our shoreline communities.
Sea Level Rise Adaptation for Tomales Bay including Living Shorelines
Marin County launched the Coastal Communities Working Group (CCWG) in early 2020 and invited representatives from West Marin Village Associations, and other stakeholders including environmental and youth representatives. Participants in the CCWG are tasked with reviewing, providing input, and sharing information about key adaptation planning efforts in West Marin.
The work of the CCWG is to build off the County’s prior effort, Collaboration: Sea-Level Marin Adaptation Response Team (C-SMART) , an effort to understand potential impacts of sea level rise on Marin's ocean coast and work together with communities to prepare for a more resilient future.
In February, the CCWG met twice to review two projects that are underway in Marin County, the Stinson Beach Nature-Based Adaptation Feasibility Study, and Tomales Bay Nature-Based Adaptation Study.
