Rockland Coastal Meet-Up
3 PM–4 PM | Snow Marine Park | PublicLocals of Rockland are invited to join GMRI to learn about and contribute to a statewide coastal flood community science project.
Become a community scientist by observing coastal flooding in your community!
Climate change and sea level rise are already driving our high tides higher, causing coastal floods up and down the shores of Maine. In order to adapt, we need to increase our understanding of what water level and weather conditions lead to local flooding. 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,
- What you can do to support Rockland in preparing for coastal change.
The data from this project can be used to inform near- and long- term emergency preparedness and climate decisions, bringing us closer to a climate-resilient and thriving future.
Following the event, participants are encouraged to attend an educational presentation at the Rockland Public Library from 6:00-7:00pm.
