KneeDeep Times, a local publication that features content related to climate change and sea level rise adaptation, shares news of Warner Chabot's departure from the San Francisco Estuary Institute. Their article relates details of Warner's biography — his background in policy advocacy and planning — and recounts some of his biggest accomplishments at SFEI, with special references to the SF Bay Shoreline Adaptation Atlas. Warner's plainspoken approach to communication and his keen ability to translate complex concepts into simpler ones are notable Chabot hallmarks.
At SFEI, we join our peers in celebrating Warner's achievements. We are deeply appreciative for the many years of service, the camaraderie, passion, commitment, and good-natured professionalism that he brought to every gathering.
Thank you, Warner, and enjoy what promises to be a very busy retirement! We look forward to crossing paths with you again soon and often.

As we begin a new year, we want to recognize and express our sincere gratitude to Warner Chabot, who retired as SFEI’s Executive Director at the end of 2025 after more than eleven years of dedicated service.
