Recap of #ABAG2024 General Assembly! 🌟 Let's drive regional resilience and sustainability forward!

Today, staff from SFEP, East Bay Dischargers Authority, and Teach Earth Action visited the Oro Loma Horizontal Levee and the future site of First Mile Horizontal Levee to find synergies between government, non-profits, community colleges, and students to advance NBS projects.

Thank you to @HoodPlanningGroup who invited SFEP and @SFEI_ASC to a Community Greening and Resilience walking tour this past weekend in Columbia Gardens/DAG in Oakland! Community members identified critical needs to be included in future plans for street improvement.

We had a great time attending this year’s Rising Together: The Bay Adapt Summit last week held by SFBay Conservation & Development Commission (BCDC) at the Exploratorium. The summit was filled with great conversation about our shared commitment to addressing sea level rise and adaptation.

We are making steady and meaningful progress in meeting the deliverables the goals outlined in the Estuary Blueprint – a roadmap to restoring the Estuary’s health. This rainbow graph shows an almost 40% completion rate in meeting our 5-year plan goals.
