Reflect on Spring’s High-Tide Flooding and Community Science

Climate change and sea level rise are already driving our high tides higher, causing coastal floods up and down the shores of Maine. In April and May, we experienced some of the highest predicted tides of the year. In order to adapt to rising tides, we need to increase our understanding of what water level and weather conditions lead to local flooding.

Join our virtual community discussion to explore the data contributed to GMRI's Coastal Flooding Community Science project during high water events this Spring. Share and discuss with your coastal neighbors what you observed during high water events and the impacts you saw in places you care about throughout the Gulf of Maine.

Observing change and having conversations about climate impacts is an important step to building a climate-resilient and thriving future!
