it does not show predicted sea level rise. it shows how much the level of the bay has risen over the past century. since 1900, the bay waters have risen 7 inches. and we at bcdc have been monitoring this increase for decades and we have been especially concerned because ground elevation, particularly in the south bay, is sinking because of ground water extraction. so even if there's no sea level rise, we expect more flooding as the low-lying areas continue to sink. therefore, over 20 years ago we published a report warning of a dangerous sea level rise in the bay area and the predictions that we made then have shown, unfortunately, to be pretty accurate. it's happening. so, for us in the bay area, reports about sea level rise don't belong in the science prediction section of the library. they belong over in the history section. it's happening here. the same california climate change report i mentioned predicts sea level increases of between 4 inches and 3 feet, 1 meter, by 2100. now, since the bay has risen 7 inches in the pas

that caused sea levels to rise. that mechanism is not well represented in models or understood very well. sea level rise by itself is gentle three feet of rise may not do too much but when it's couple with high tides and storms and el nino, by maybe close to a foot do things like this. this is 1983 in san diego area. and well, let's go on to the next one. that shows the actual sea level record. in the pay delta, it's not just sea level rises but the fact that we have fresh water floods. this is the level that ice street water gauge in sacramento. darn this thing. okay. those are tides. mostly a summer period, but these are floods so you can see, you know the water levels get up to nine meters there. there's a book called, conquering the inner sea which is a history of levies in sacramento valley and trying to contain the water. the fact is, this sort of thing could potentially get more frequent and potentially higher. i don't want to sound like the national inquirer here and when you count, you take one of these cli

the seas are also rich in tuna and other marine resources. fishing boats from china have repeatedly been observed operating off the island group. in 2004, japanese police arrested seven chinese activists who landed on uotsuri, the largest of the islands, and proclaimed it part of chinese territory. in recent years, china's navy has been stepping up its activities, not just off senkaku but also in other areas, in japanese waters and around southeast asia. in april, a chinese naval fleet sailed between okinawa in the pacific ocean and sent up a helicopter that approached dangerously close to a japanese maritime self-defense destroyer. china has territorial disputes between several southeast asian nations over islands in the south china sea and has sent surveillance ships there. the japanese government has called on china to respond calmly to the recent arrest of the fishing boat's captain. >> translator: the most important thing is to find a way to build a mutually beneficial relationship with china, a major neighbor with an economy that's grow

it's data that clearly shows a historical trend of rising sea level. there's just no doubt about that. and on the left-hand side of the picture i wanted to represent at the far left the transport storage structure, the bay would be on the right side of the dark blue bar and the dark blue line, the gap represents the weir. that's where the overflow point would be. if we progress on with our projections of where sea level is going, the horizontal red bar represents the lowest elevation of our current weir structures. if we look at ipcc projections, for example, of where tides are going, it doesn't take too long -- not too many years, maybe about 2013, 2014, we get to a point where at peak tides we have very regular occurrences of bay water actually topping the weir and coming back into our system. the bad news is we actually see this happening now. the photo on the left is that same structure you saw discharging in a previous slide. the weir structures are the slots underneath. the lower right photo you are seeing a high tide that is actually not happeni

california sea-lions and elephant seals are safe on the island now.t there is a species rarely seen these days, the northern fur seal. that's because hunters in the 1800s came to the island and slaughtered them by the hundreds of thousands, selling the pellets for $2 apiece. in gold rush days, the mirs of the islands had a tough time reproducing because egg gatherers climbed over the rocks stealing their eggs. there were few chickens in california those days and the gold miner would pay $1 for an egg. >> even these labourers climbed the cliffs and flushed outline of the mirs, broke all of the eggs. and so then they would know that when they came back in two days, there would be fresh eggs. and then they would clean out the eggs, battling on the cliffs with the seagulls for the eggs. >> reporter: even after biologists began studying the island species and became concern we had saving them, the navy used the islands for target practice. fishermen would swing by and shoot the seals. today the animals here have mostly lost their fear of human beings so a

those plants are located approximately 20 feet above mean sea level. the projections for sea level rise in the last itcc report ranged from about 9 to somewhere upward of 25. latest studies are indicating that the upper numbers are perhaps too conservative. so you can see the implications for the viability of those plants if we don't look at substantial modification. and again the science is increasingly telling us that when sea level rises, it doesn't just rise tiny little amounts year by year over a long period of time. it's very likely that it will be much more dramatic changes, as seen at the polar ice caps. we have a number of natural gas burning stations also on the coast. these stations provide upwards of 40 percent of the total electricity supply of the city and they are also at about 20 feet above mean sea level. these power plants can be replaced in terms of the amount of energy that they generate, but they are essential to the operation of the grid because of their location. they keep supplies flowing through the power lines in the city. so,
