Sea Level Rise

Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture sea level rise data with the Sea Level Rise app, a powerful tool that empowers individuals to map flooding in their communities. This innovative app helps document the impacts of sea level rise and other flooding events, providing invaluable data for researchers and civic leaders alike.

Sea level rise is a global issue that affects virtually everyone in low-lying coastal regions. Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. Developed by Wetlands Watch, this app fosters a better-informed and connected community, enabling us to stay ahead of the rising tides.

By using the Sea Level Rise app, you can access user-submitted information about this global phenomenon and actively participate as a volunteer in capturing crucial street-level data. This data is essential for understanding and addressing the challenges posed by sea level rise. With the app, you can:

• Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture localized data that researchers and civic leaders need but often lack.
• Identify and add nearby "Trouble" spots where high water impacts your travel during inclement weather.
• Capture and share photos that document the flooding occurring in your community.
• Access specific collaboration spaces, called regions, where you can manage volunteers and schedule mapping events.
