Storms and sea level rise have increased flooding in Phippsburg. To inform actions that increase security, well-being, and flood preparedness for Phippsburg residents, the town is participating in the Gulf of Maine Research Institute's coastal flooding community science project. We need your help documenting flood events! This spring brings some of the highest projected tides of the year, but they all occur in the middle of the night. So we invite you to meet us after the tides for some post-flood “crime scene investigation” and evidence gathering, which we’ll do together while learning about:

• Sea level rise, coastal flooding, and tidal science
• How to contribute your own observational data to the Coastal Flooding Community Science Project
• How your data informs emergency preparedness and resilience planning and supports Phippsburg’s ongoing Climate Vulnerability Assessment

We hope you’ll join us!

Registration is encouraged but not required.
