The CA LCC assisted the San Francisco Bay Area National Wildlife Refuge Complex in its conservation planning efforts by researching and summarizing projections of climate change and potential impacts for the natural resources of the seven refuges within the Refuge Complex. The following documents are available, presented on a webpage on the Climate Commons (http://climate.calcommons.org/sfbnwr). A bibliographic database was also delivered to the refuge managers for their use in their planning documents. The information was presented to the refuge staff at one of their planning workshops in early 2017.
