Residents and locals of Portland are invited to join GMRI at our upcoming coastal flooding community event on Commercial Street.

Portland Coastal Meet-Up on Commercial Street

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


We need to understand the increasing impacts of flooding from sea level rise and coastal storms. That’s where you come in! Join the Gulf of Maine Research Institute to learn about sea level rise and coastal flooding, how to contribute your own observational data to the Coastal Flooding Community Science Project, and what you can do to support Portland in preparing for coastal change.

The Coastal Flooding Community Science project aims to answer the questions, "what weather and water level conditions lead to coastal flooding in your community?”. This project supports the collection of water level data and public perspectives on flooding in communities across Maine. The data can be used to support coastal resilience and emergency management.

Join us to witness high tide flooding due to sea level rise and contribute an observation.


Registration is not required, but encouraged.
