The Barbary Coast Neighborhood Association is hosting an exclusive walking tour for members guided by the Port of San Francisco on Sunday, July 15 at 3:00 PM, followed by a social gathering at Fish & Farm, 424 Clay Street. Learn about earthquake and sea level rise risks facing our waterfront and what the Port is doing to keep the waterfront safe for generations to come. The tour is free and lasts one hour.

San Francisco’s Seawall was constructed more than a century ago and is the foundation of over three miles of the city’s waterfront stretching from Fisherman’s Wharf to Mission Creek. The Seawall has served us well, but it is now in need of significant improvements to withstand the next major earthquake and increasing flood risk from sea level rise and climate change. The Port of San Francisco is leading the Seawall Earthquake Safety and Disaster Prevention Program, a citywide effort to create a stronger and more sustainable waterfront by addressing critical safety upgrades along the Embarcadero Seawall.

What: Waterfront Walking Tour with the Port of San Francisco
When: Sunday, July 15 from 3-4 PM followed by Social at Fish & Farm
Where: Departs from the Port’s lobby at Pier 1 – just north of the Ferry Building along the Embarcadero. ADA accessible.

The Port of San Francisco is hosting a series of Seawall Community Meetings for the public to learn more about the Embarcadero Seawall and provide input to strengthen our waterfront and envision a more resilient and sustainable San Francisco. The first meeting will take place on June 21 in the Ferry Building. The Port will provide an update on the Seawall Program and then dive deeper into subjects including sea level rise, seismic safety, funding, and waterfront land use. The meeting will include a kid-friendly Seawall table as well as refreshments. Visit sfseawall.com to take the pre-meeting survey and share what interests you most.
