In the Bay Area, climate officials expect to see sea levels rise between 11-24 inches by 2050 and 36-66 inches by 2100 relative to sea levels in 2000. The map on the left demonstrates areas of West Oakland that would experience flooding under 55 inches of sea level rise during a 100-year storm.*

​

Parts of the Port as well as northwestern and southern areas of West Oakland will become inundated in this scenario. 

​

The City of Oakland has considered sea level rise mitigation plans in the following areas:

     - Bay Bridge Touchdown Living Levee

     - Damon Slough Living Levee

     - Coliseum Specific Plan

     - Oakland Airport Perimeter Dike Improvement

     - Brooklyn Basin

     - Middle Harbor Enhancement

     - MLK Jr. Regional Shoreline

     - East Bay Gateway Park
