Sea Level Rise

Engage in crowd-sourcing events to collect crucial sea level rise data with the Sea Level Rise app. This innovative tool empowers individuals to map flooding in their communities, providing essential data on sea level rise and its impacts. Whether you're in a coastal area or inland, the effects of rising sea levels are increasingly relevant, and your participation can make a significant difference.

Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of community involvement through annual "Catch the King Tide" events. Thanks to Wetlands Watch, the Sea Level Rise app fosters a more informed and connected community, enabling us to stay ahead of the curve in addressing sea level rise challenges.

By using the app, you can access user-generated data on this global issue and volunteer to capture vital street-level information. Here's how you can contribute:

• Join crowd-sourcing events to gather the localized data that researchers and civic leaders need but often lack.
• Identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water impacts your travel during adverse weather conditions.
• Document and share photos that illustrate the effects of flooding in your community.
• Engage with specific collaboration spaces, known as regions, to coordinate volunteers and plan mapping events.
