Become a community scientist by observing coastal flooding in your community!

The coastline of Maine is home to vital marine ecosystems, working waterfronts, small businesses, homes, and critical infrastructure. Climate change and sea level rise are causing these communities to experience more severe and frequent coastal flooding events. This November and December we’ll see some of the highest predicted tides of the year. In order to adapt to rising tides, we need to increase our understanding of what local impacts look like in our communities. That’s where you come in!

Through this webinar, learn how to lead a group in contributing observational data to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute’s Coastal Flooding Community Science Project. Whether you work for a land trust, volunteer on your town's sustainability committee, or are looking for a way to get involved in local climate action, this training will give you the tools you need to lead a group in collecting valuable data that can be used to inform near- and long- term emergency preparedness and climate decisions, bringing us closer to a climate-resilient and thriving future.
