Sea Level Rise Collaborative
The Canal Community Resilience Planning Project is a collaborative effort exploring the feasibility of different actions to reduce flood risks.
The project partners, including The Canal Alliance, the County of Marin, the Multicultural Center of Marin, and researchers at the University of California Berkeley, are working together to understand the hazards facing our community, prioritize actions, build capacity, and provide STEM educational opportunities to students.
The project includes the entire physical area around the Canal (known as an “operational landscape unit”). However, we’re prioritizing engagement in the Canal neighborhood, which is the most vulnerable to sea level rise.
Over the next year, we plan to work alongside residents to co-create ideas to improve our resilience. There’s no right answer, so this project will be a conversation with our community, especially those who are disproportionately vulnerable.
