I live in Marin County. It’s full of liberal morons. I don’t know of anywhere in Marin County that’s been affected by rising sea levels. Around the Bay, I’d bet that any rise in water levels are due more to erosion of the shore washing into the Bay. Our family home was right on the Bay - our son bought the house from us - I don’t see any difference in the shoreline there - looks just like it did in the 1970s.

The only thing that I know about that is changing in the Bay area is that the bay is gradually filling in with silt. In fact, that is happening much faster than sea level rise.

Alviso, CA, used to be a town with a port on the south edge of the bay near San Jose. There is no shipping there now, because of an earlier flood, but also because the whole south bay is getting to be more marsh than bay.

This is the Alviso marina. Recently, after about 25 years, they finally dredged a path through the marsh back to a water channel so boats can use it again.

The whole bay is actually very shallow, much more than it appears. About a third of it is probably no deeper than 20 feet. There is commercial shipping, but that is along very narrow dredged channels. By the time there is any sea level rise, this whole bay will be a marsh or plain.
