4 Partnerships Cascadia GeoSciences Humboldt Bay Initiative “Our vision is a vibrant, thriving, and resilient Humboldt Bay Ecosystem that supports the well- being of our human and natural communities.” North Pacific Landscape Conservation Cooperative Dept. of Interior Climate Change Adaptation Program Adaptation Program

5 Issue: tectonics controls Local Sea Level Accurate measurement of local land elevation in the Humboldt Bay area Accurate measurement of local land elevation in the Humboldt Bay area Priority issue identified by USACE, Coastal Commission, NOAA NGS & others

6 We live and work here!
