Progress
Lastly, one of the key components of ensuring adaptation is successful is being able to track progress and learn from what our progress—or lack of progress—is telling us about our efforts. In addition to tracking serious data on the engagement, plans, and projects, the region has been seeking to establish meaningful efforts to guide decisions, make the data understandable and accessible, and tell the stories that summarize where we are going and how it is going.

Tracking and Reporting Progress to Guide Future Actions
Bay Adapt Currents is an interactive and data-driven dashboard for tracking sea level rise adaptation in the Bay Area. It features graphics showing trends in community perceptions of climate change, news articles, and peer-reviewed scientific research, sea level rise policies already in action in 55 Bay Area cities, and other urgently-needed information.
BCDC and MTC’s Shoreline Adaptation Project Mapping Program is a visionary leap toward a resilient Bay Area shoreline, turning scattered adaptation efforts into a unified, living map. Based on the EcoAtlas platform, SAPMAP spatially tracks coastal restoration, flood-reduction, and resilience projects across the region, empowering planners, funders, and communities with clarity and coordination.
