SFEI recently released a resilient landscape vision for lower Novato Creek that incorporates habitat restoration actions into flood risk management. The vision, developed in coordination with a team of regional science experts, highlights opportunities for restoring and sustaining vital tidal wetland habitats around lower Novato Creek while supporting a high level of flood protection under rising San Francisco Bay water levels. It provides Marin County Flood Control & Conservation District and other local partners with several “nature-based” adaption options that can benefit both habitat and people. A similar vision development effort is currently underway for lower Walnut Creek and will be completed in Spring 2016. This work is part of the EPA-funded Flood Control 2.0 project, whose goal is integrating habitat enhancement into flood risk management along the Bay shoreline for the 21st century and beyond.
