The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission is a state agency with regional authority responsible for protecting the Bay and its shoreline and for developing regional strategies for addressing the impacts of sea level rise and climate change on the Bay. The Commission maintains the San Francisco Bay Plan. Based on this plan, the Commission issues or denies permits for filling, dredging, and land development projects within the Bay, along the Bay shoreline and within other ''managed wetlands'' adjacent to the Bay. The Commission also implements the Suisun Marsh Preservation Act of 1977. Furthermore, the Commission is responsible for managing the Bay segment of the California coastal zone under the federal Coastal Zone Management Act. Under this federal law, the Commission develops and implements the federally approved coastal management program for the Bay and exercises authority over federal activities otherwise not subject to state control. Partial reimbursement is derived from federal grants received by the California Coastal Commission.
