Description: Proceedings of summit held by Gulf of the Farallones Marine Sanctuary to discuss potential climate change drivers and impacts, as well as adaptation and mitigation strategies, for local coastal and open ocean ecosystems in the San Francisco Bay Area. Goal was to address climate change impacts through fostering awareness, advocating solutions, and promoting action amongst government agencies and other stakeholders in order to build ecosystem resilience and sustainability. Desired outcomes included developing strategies for an action plan to establish the "Climate Solutions Initiative" for the Bay Area marine environment, and serving as a pilot program for implementing local climate change initiatives in NOAA's national marine sanctuary system.
