Scientists and policymakers agree that the Bay Area needs 100,000 acres of tidal marsh to remain a healthy environment and properly prepare for sea level rise. For adequate wetland restoration and shoreline protection strategies, it will take around $110 billion in funding. Current funds are not enough to meet the restoration needs of the region, especially since the proposed state budget for this year slashes $450 million in sea level rise adaptation funding.
