Sea Level Rise

Engage in crowd-sourcing initiatives to gather vital data on sea level rise with the Sea Level Rise app. This innovative tool empowers you to map out flooding within your community, contributing essential information about the impacts of sea level rise and other flooding events. As sea level rise affects everyone in low-lying coastal areas, our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Through the participation of thousands of volunteers in our annual "Catch the King Tide" events, developed by Wetlands Watch, we are forging a more informed and connected community to proactively address the challenges of sea level rise.

By using the app, you can access user-generated data on this global issue and volunteer to collect street-level information crucial for understanding and tackling the problem. Here's how you can contribute:

• Join crowd-sourcing events to collect the localized data that researchers and civic leaders urgently need, yet often lack.
• Identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water disrupts your travel during adverse weather conditions.
• Take and share photos to document the real-time impacts happening in your community.
• Engage with specific collaboration spaces, known as regions, to coordinate volunteers and plan mapping events effectively.
