Cal Poly Humboldt Sea Level Rise Institute Annual Report - 2022-2023
August 2023
As a core vision, the Cal Poly Humboldt Sea Level Rise Institute (SLRI) “envisions a diverse network of collaborators working together across disciplines, sectors, and ways of knowing to develop sea-level rise research and planning that informs equitable, sustainable, and community-centered local climate action.” The SLRI had a productive academic year from 2022 - 2023 in service of this vision.
Caltrans welcomes you to our online resources to help you stay informed regarding our planning and project efforts in District 1. You can find information regarding our efforts along the Highway 101 Corridor and in each of the 4 counties covered by District 1.

There are 23 state highways located within District 1. In many of these areas, the State Highway System (SHS) serves as the “main street.” The SHS also provides outlying communities access to emergency services.
