10. Erosion

11. Groundwater Elevation Armored levee Levee slope increases as mudflat lowers and levee raised

12. Hold the Line

13. Armored levee Levee slope increases as mudflat lowers and levee raised

14. Realign Rapid landward movement increases as sea level rises

15. Opportunities - Sediment Trapped in channels in watershed Trapped in channels in watershed Trapped in marinas further alongshore Trapped in marinas further alongshore In the past, sources were more diffuse In the past, sources were more diffuse

16. Opportunities - Freshwater Large amount of freshwater passes through area Large amount of freshwater passes through area Opportunity to reconfigure EBDA line Opportunity to reconfigure EBDA line In the past, sources were more diffuse In the past, sources were more diffuse

17. Opportunities – Brackish Marsh Historic element of the Bay Historic element of the Bay Greater biomass, wave attenuation and sediment trapping Greater biomass, wave attenuation and sediment trapping Grow the marshes upwards Grow the marshes upwards Steepen the existing natural shoreline Steepen the existing natural shoreline Adaptively respond to changes in sea level Adaptively respond to changes in sea level
