Sea Level Rise Coastal Flooding Impacts

Data: Sea Level Rise Coastal Flooding Impacts

Abstract:

The dataset covers the entire California coast and the San Francisco Bay. It is created for estimating the impacts of a 100-year coastal flood with a sea-level rise of 1.4 meters (55 inches). This map represents the extent of a 100-year coastal flood, based on FEMA 100-year flood elevations, with a sea-level rise of 1.4 meters in year 2100.

Applying ecological principles

Ecological principles represent the core attributes of natural systems that must be maintained or restored in order to support healthy marine and coastal ecosystems, and include maintaining, restoring, or accounting for:

These principles are explained in a reference guide for agencies in California, called the Ecological Principles Guide . This guide also includes a series of case studies and checklists that demonstrate how the principles can be applied to day-to-day decision making.

State GeoPortal

The EcoPrinciples Connect tool links to data from the California Geoportal, which offers an easy and convenient way to search, discover and use authoritative geospatial data resources. This one-stop geospatial shop is helping to improve access to California’s geographic data portfolio and expand the use of those data resources in decision making processes.
