SAN RAFAEL -- The Marin Board of Supervisors will get a briefing on Tuesday about possible projects designed to tackle the affects of climate change on two beloved coastal areas in West Marin, Tomales Bay and Stinson Beach.
Specifically, the Tomales Bay project evaluated the feasibility of utilizing natural supports such as eelgrass, oyster reefs, wetlands and other systems that sequester carbon and help the shore adapt to climate change impacts. This"living shoreline" approach involves alterations to the shore that help it adapt to sea level rise by taking advantage of natural features that are already there.
Experts are considering dune restoration and enhancement at Stinson to combat rising sea levels, also as an alternative to coastal armoring. Dune restoration could have"multiple" benefits, according to the county, including creating and maintaining habitats, providing space for recreation, and flood protection.
