The Hayward Regional Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan builds upon existing planning efforts to coalesce around a shared vision to plan for, mitigate against, and adapt to sea level rise.
The Plan began with an analysis of the site's existing conditions in January 2019. This base of research led to the development of adaptation strategies that proposed ways of adapting the shoreline to sea level rise. The applicable strategies were ultimately combined to form a comprehensive plan for shoreline adaptation.
Frequent stakeholder and public engagement directly informed the Master Plan throughout every stage.
This planning document is a forward-looking tool to guide the phased implementation of projects that will adapt the Hayward Regional Shoreline as sea levels rise and mitigate the impacts of climate change.
