99 <br /> <br />5.9 Climate Change <br /> <br />5.9.1 RISING SEA LEVEL <br />POTENTIAL OCCURANCE: <br />Rising sea level is a developing, global issue that will affect San Leandro later in the 21st <br />century. Environmental studies indicate that global warming could lead to a sea level rise <br />of one to six feet during the next 100 years as illustrated in figure 5-20. This could have <br />significant effects on the ecology of San Leandro’s Shoreline Marshlands. It could also <br />increase erosion along the waterfront and raise the hazard of tidal flooding along Neptune <br />Drive and nearby streets. The City will remain involved in state and regional discussions <br />about this issue and the ways to mitigate its effects on the Bay shoreline. San Leandro has <br />made a strong commitment to studying the effects that climate change and rising sea level <br />could have on the city. The City’s Sustainability Manager is currently working on updating <br />the 2009 San Leandro Climate Action. In 2020, during the next rewrite of this hazard <br />mitigation plan findings from the Climate Action and Adaptation Plans will be <br />incorporated in depth. <br />Figure 5-20 Projected Sea Level Rise <br /> <br />138
