THE TISCORNIA MARSH HABITAT RESTORATION AND SEA LEVEL RISE ADAPTATION PROJECT ​

Building on the preliminary design produced by Environmental Science Associates (ESA) with a grant from the Marin Community Foundation, this phase of the Tiscornia Marsh Restoration and Sea Level Rise Adaptation Project will advance the design for restoring marsh habitat and improving the levee,  connecting with community, improving a public trail, and completing environmental review.  The project design will include restoring an eroded section of the existing tidal marsh, opening the diked marsh to tidal action, stabilizing and improving a section of degraded levee to increase flood protection for the community and providing transition zone habitat for wildlife and flood control. 
This phase of the Tiscornia project is funded by a grant to the Marin Audubon Society from 2016 Measure AA, the Clean and Healthy Bay Measure, managed by the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority.
​The San Francisco Regional Authority is a regional agency that funds projects that restore, protect and enhance wetlands and wildlife habitat along San Francisco Bay and its shoreline. Learn more about the Authority athttp://www.facebook.com/BayrestorationAuthority   
The Marin Audubon Society will manage and lead the project.

Conduct Community  Engagement​ and Education about Sea Level rise 

Shore Up San Rafael a project lead by the Multicultural Center of Marin will conduct public outreach to educate the adjacent communities, about sea level rise and the use of nature-based adaptation solutions, and seek to encourage participation in adaptation planning and implementation.

Develop Conceptual Design for Upland Edge Habitat Levee​

Environmental Science Associates will compile, develop and evaluate alternatives for improving the existing levee to improving flood protection for the Canal community. Concept designs will be presented to solicit public input and support.

Water levels in the San Francisco Bay may rise eight inches by 2035, and sixteen inches by 2050. San Rafael’s downtown and canal fronting neighborhoods are among the most vulnerable. The Tiscornia Marsh Project addresses bay marsh edge stabilization, alternatives to existing levees, and provides community engagement. ​

First Let's

Discover

Led by Shore up Marin, the Tiscornia Marsh Habitat Restoration and Sea Level Rise Adaptation Project includes opportunities for youth to explore sea level rise, learn about the potential impacts on their communities, and promote youth participation by documenting changes in the current living shorelines. 

Now let's WORK

Conserve
Picture
By restoring and enhancing naturally occurring shoreline features, this project is designing and testing sustainable defenses against sea level rise, as one of many approaches to protect some of Marin’s most underserved and vulnerable regions such as San Rafael's Canal community and surrounding neighborhoods

IT'S UP TO US

Change
