| | | CAF14-212 | | Jurisdiction, Governance and Land Use Planning as the Sea Rises Speakers: Jennifer DeLeon, Statewide Planning and Renewable Energy Program Coordinator, California State Lands Commission; Lindy Lowe, Senior Planner, Project Lead, Adapting to Rising Tide Project, San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission; Hilary Papendick, Statewide LCP Grant Manager/Coastal Program Analyst, California Coastal Commission; Cody Hooven, Senior Environmental Specialist, Port of San Diego; MODERATOR: Curtis Alling, AICP, Principal, Ascent Environmental, Inc. Sea level is not only a geophysical and ecological interface, it also demarcates boundaries of governance that affect land use planning, resources management, and regulatory jurisdictions. It is important to advance the dialogue about implications of changing regulatory boundaries of the coastal zone, submerged land subject to the public trust, and land use planning jurisdictions of state and local government. State jurisdiction may become applicable to new areas. Planning, public safety, and resource management issues on affected lands may morph. Economic, social equity, and property concerns may weigh heavily on decision-makers. Current regulatory practices will necessarily change as boundaries of coastal zone, bay/estuary, and submerged lands evolve over time. What are the economic, social, and governance effects on communities? This session explores the planning, regulatory, and socioeconomic issues and trade-offs associated with the potential effects of sea-level rise on governance of coastal and estuarine waters and land. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
