Objectives of this training:

• Familiarize landowning entities with the tools currently available to assist in execution of living shoreline projects in the San Francisco Bay.
• Using Point Blue’s Adaptation Framework and Operational Land Units (OLUs) we will follow the step by step guide to explore nature based measures used to mitigate sea level rise.
