Welcome to the North Bay Watershed Association

The North Bay Watershed Association (NBWA) is a group of 16 regional and local public agencies located throughout Marin, Sonoma, and Napa counties. We are committed to crafting a set of regional approaches to the problems and issues associated with managing our common watershed. Our mission is to facilitate partnerships across political boundaries that promote stewardship of the North Bay watershed resources.

 

The North Bay Watershed Association was created to help regulated local and regional public agencies work cooperatively on water resources issues that impact areas beyond traditional boundaries in order to promote stewardship of the North Bay watershed. Agencies participate in the NBWA in order to discuss issues of common interest, explore ways to work collaboratively on water resources projects of regional concern, and share information about projects, regulations, and technical issues.

Sea Level Rise Workshops

   "Adapting to Sea Level Rise along the North Bay Shoreline"

Please join the North Bay Watershed Association (NBWA) for important workshops to assist agencies and municipalities with planning for rising tides and climate change. “Adapting to Sea Level Rise along the North Bay Shoreline” is a project funded by NBWA to support the shoreline of eastern Marin north to the Petaluma River.

 

The goal of the interactive workshops is to hear your information needs for an online decision support tool to plan for and respond to sea level rise along the San Pablo Bay shoreline. The current sea-level rise support tool can be viewed here.

 

This map will be improved with additional data and input from the workshop participants. Workshop objectives are to gain an understanding of:

• Management questions related to sea level rise that could be addressed through the use of our decision support tool.
• Adaptation, restoration, and/or management planning actions related to sea level rise and storm hazards underway or being considered, and their geographic extent.
• Stakeholders’ processes for planning for sea level rise and storm hazards and how to best integrate decision support tools.

 

The workshops are open to all interested managers and planners working along the San Pablo Bay shoreline. NBWA will be hosting two workshops in June to maximize participation. For planning purposes, we encourage participation by watershed. It would be ideal to have attendance by stakeholders from southern Sonoma County at the first meeting and areas south to Sausalito at the second. If this isn’t possible, we invite you to the workshop you are available to attend.

 

The workshop is free of charge, but registration is required.

 

Please register with Sam Veloz, PRBO Consultant and Workshop Project Manager,
at sveloz@prbo.org or 707-781-2555 x308.

 

Please let Sam know if you’re interested and at which of the two locations.
