    SECTION 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4- BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section discusses the existing sensitive biological resources of the San Francisco Bay Estuary (the Estuary) that could be affected by project-related construction and locally increased levels of boating use, identifies potential impacts to those resources, and recommends mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate those impacts. The Initial Study for this project identified potentially significant impacts on shorebirds and rafting waterbirds, marine mammals (harbor seals), and wetlands habitats and species. The potential for spread of invasive species also was identified as a possible impact. 3.4.1 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES SETTING HABITATS WITHIN AND AROUND SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY The vegetation and wildlife of bayland environments varies among geographic subregions in the bay (Figure 3.4-1), and also with the predominant land uses: urban (commercial, residential, industrial/port), urban/wildland interface, rural, and agricultural. For the purposes of discussion of biological resources, the Estuary is divided into Suisun Bay, San Pablo Bay, Central San Francisco Bay, and South San Francisco Bay (See Figure 3.4-2). The general landscape structure of the Estuary’s vegetation and habitats within the geographic scope of the WT is described below. URBAN SHORELINES Urban shorelines in the San Francisco Estuary are generally formed by artificial fill and structures armored with revetments, seawalls, rip-rap, pilings, and other structures. Waterways and embayments adjacent to urban shores are often dredged. With some important exceptions, tidal wetland vegetation and habitats adjacent to urban shores are often formed on steep slopes, and are relatively recently formed (historic infilled sediment) in narrow strips.

  • Structural Shorelines
    Existing Conditions and Stressors Report – Structural and Natural Shorelines INTRODUCTION TO THE ADAPTING TO RISING TIDES EXISTING CONDITIONS AND STRESSORS REPORT The Adapting to Rising Tides (ART) project evaluated the current condition of shoreline and community assets, and the stressors affecting them, because understanding existing conditions and stressors can inform an understanding of individual asset resilience (or lack thereof) to projected climate impacts, including sea level rise and storm events. Stressors can also provide information on current and future trends and how those trends may affect resilience. The existing conditions and stressors were analyzed and summarized for each asset category included in the ART project assessment. This analysis served as a foundation for the ART vulnerability and risk assessment, which examined asset exposure to five potential climate impacts, sensitivity of assets to these impacts, and the ability of assets to accommodate or adjust to these impacts with little financial or structural intervention. The following Existing Conditions and Stressors report chapter includes: • a definition of the asset category; • a synthesis of information about current conditions and stressors; and • discussion of these conditions through the lenses of sustainability organized by society and equity, environment, economy and governance. The complete ART Existing Conditions and Stressors Report is available at the ART Portfolio website. 1 Existing Conditions and Stressors Report – Structural and Natural Shorelines STRUCTURAL AND NATURAL SHORELINES I. Definition The ART project has a diverse shoreline composed of a variety of structural and natural areas. In general, structural shoreline protection assets in the project area are built features that have been constructed and maintained for specific purposes such as flood or erosion control.
