About
The Oakland Alameda Adaptation Committee (OAAC) is a coalition of shoreline communities and stakeholders working to co-create a coordinated and inclusive future-looking action plan and sub-regional organizational structure to accelerate sea level rise adaptation, protect and restore water quality, recreation and habitat, and promote community resilience.
​
We need your input! The Oakland-Alameda shoreline faces unique challenges and opportunities as sea level rise impacts our shoreline, community, and infrastructure. Your perspective is essential to shaping strategies that protect and enhance our city.​ Please attend future events to stay informed and provide your feedback!
Project Areas
OAAC is currently collaborating on eight adaptation projects that address sea level rise vulnerabilities in the cities of Alameda and Oakland and at the Port of Oakland. These projects seek to address areas of near-term vulnerability while also building a long-term framework for future collective action and planning.
