Sea Level Rise

Join the effort to combat sea level rise by participating in crowd-sourcing events through the Sea Level Rise app. This innovative tool empowers you to map and document flooding in your community, providing valuable data on the impacts of sea level rise and other flooding events. Whether you're directly affected or simply concerned about the future, your involvement can make a significant difference.

Our journey began in Hampton Roads, Virginia, where we harnessed the power of community mapping during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. Thanks to the dedication of thousands of volunteers and the leadership of Wetlands Watch, the Sea Level Rise app fosters a more informed and connected community, ready to tackle the challenges of rising sea levels head-on.

By using the app, you can access user-submitted information about this global phenomenon and contribute as a volunteer to gather the essential street-level data needed to better understand and address these challenges. Here's how you can get involved:

• Participate in crowd-sourcing events to capture localized data that researchers and civic leaders desperately need to make informed decisions.
• Identify and report "Trouble" spots where high water disrupts travel during inclement weather, helping to pinpoint areas requiring attention.
• Capture and share photos that document the real-time effects of flooding in your community, raising awareness and fostering action.
• Access specific collaboration spaces, called regions, where you can manage volunteers and organize mapping events to maximize your impact.
