Sea Level Rise

Engage in crowd-sourcing events to gather crucial data on sea level rise with the Sea Level Rise app. This innovative tool empowers individuals to map flooding in their communities, providing essential documentation of sea level rise and its impacts. Whether you're directly affected or simply concerned about the future, your participation can make a significant difference.

Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we've harnessed the power of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. Organized by Wetlands Watch, this app fosters a more informed and connected community, enabling us to stay ahead of the challenges posed by rising sea levels.

By using the Sea Level Rise app, you can access user-submitted data on this global phenomenon and contribute as a volunteer to collect street-level information. This data is vital for researchers and civic leaders who need it to better understand and address the challenges of sea level rise. With the app, you can:

• Join crowd-sourcing events to capture localized data that is essential yet often lacking for researchers and civic leaders.
• 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 manage volunteers and organize mapping events.
