1 North Bay Climate Adaptation Initiative www.nbcai.com

2 What are the climate change risks to our region’s watershed resources? How can we work together to increase the resilience of North Bay ecosystems to climate change? Significant climate change is inevitable.

4 Public Health Biodiversity and Habitat* Ocean and Coastal Resources* Water Management* Agriculture* Forestry* Transportation and Energy Infrastructure

5 Our purpose is to implement effective climate adaptation strategies that sustain ecological and human communities of North San Francisco Bay watersheds. Audubon Canyon Ranch California Department of Fish & Game California State Coastal Conservancy City of Santa Rosa Community Foundation Sonoma County Creekside Center for Earth Observation Gold Ridge RCD Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board Pepperwood Foundation PRBO Conservation Science Prunuske Chatham, Inc. Sonoma Ecology Center Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District Sonoma County Water Agency Sonoma Land Trust Sonoma State University Field Stations and Nature Preserves Sotoyome RCD UC Berkeley US Geological Survey

6 Public Policy Sonoma County ’ s new Regional Climate Protection Authority, county climate plan Integrate adaptation into everyday decisions Leadership recognition

7 Science & Technology Down-scale global climate models, predict localized climate Predict response of landscape to future climate Use Conservation Commons to share and analyse data Interpret science for decision-makers and the public Design and implement a climate response monitoring plan

8 NBWA-funded project Flint and Flint 2009 Watershed summaries of changes to runoff, recharge, and stream discharge Overlay climate effects on BAOSC landscape units and ecological resources of concern. Evaluate implications for a range of watershed project types.

9 Habitat Restoration & Stewardship Restore and protect key areas Increase resilience of lands and waters Educate and work with large landowners, including ag, especially near streams, wetlands, and corridors

10 “North Bay” Cutting-edge integration of climate with water and land use: water supply approaches, restoration goals, flood planning, stormwater management More?? NBCAI and NBWA
