Part 6 - Flooding and Sea-level Rise Adaptation

While Moffett Park is a major economic hub, its proximity to regional open space resources such as Baylands Park and the San Francisco Bay requires a unique and strategic approach to matters of climate change, sea-level rise, flooding, and other ecological conditions. Environmental Science Associates (ESA) examines many of these topics in the latest video, engaging with flood hazards and sea-level rise adaptation in the specific plan area.
