A logic model is not only an effective planning tool, it also can be a great way to clearly and concisely communicate your project’s goals, objectives, resources, and outcomes to the larger team and your stakeholders, as an interdisciplinary, multi-organization team based from the San Francisco Bay Area demonstrated.

Our Coast, Our Future: Planning for Sea Level Rise and Storm Hazards in the San Francisco Bay Area

The Our Coast, Our Future project focused on creating highly-visible decision support  tools to help stakeholders anticipate vulnerability to storms and sea level rise in a  densely-populated region that is already on the leading edge of sea level rise research  and adaptation. The team’s coordinator and the collaboration lead wanted to create a  succinct statement about the project, so that the stakeholders they had engaged in the process could see how the project fit into the complex and dynamic coastal management situation in California.
