San Francisco is vulnerable to even one meter of sea-level rise

The San Francisco Chronicle (February 18, 2007) has published a set of maps detailing how even one meter of sea-level rise will impact the entire bay:

"New maps show that neighborhoods and roads in many cities near the San Francisco Bay shoreline would be under water if global warming causes tides to rise as much as 3 feet in the coming decades, and officials say regions face key decisions about where people will be able to live and build.

The maps, which the Bay Conservation and Development Commission prepared for The Chronicle, offer a detailed look at how a changing shoreline would affect life around the bay.
