Sea Level Rise

Join the fight against sea level rise: Contribute to community mapping efforts!

The Sea Level Rise app empowers citizens to document flooding in their areas, providing invaluable data on rising sea levels and their consequences. While coastal communities worldwide face this threat, our initial work in Hampton Roads, Virginia, has leveraged the contributions of thousands of volunteers during annual "Catch the King Tide" events. Developed by Wetlands Watch, this app fosters a more informed and connected community, enabling proactive responses to rising sea levels.

Access user-contributed data on this global phenomenon and become a volunteer mapper! Help gather crucial street-level information to better understand and address the challenges of sea level rise. The app lets you:

• Contribute to community mapping events, supplying the localized data needed by researchers and community leaders.
• Identify and report "Trouble" spots – locations where high water disrupts travel during severe weather.
• Capture and share photos illustrating local flooding impacts.
• Access dedicated regional collaboration spaces to manage volunteers and plan mapping events.
