MyCoast: Tracking Coastal Flooding

Get Connected Icon Until Mar 4, 2034

Description

Help Save The Bay document shoreline flooding and coastal conditions with MyCoast!

MyCoast is a portal for collecting and analyzing photos and data about coastal flooding during king (moon) tides and after storms. This information helps us visualize the impact of flooding from sea level rise, and helps enhance awareness among decision-makers and stakeholders. Learn more about this issue here.

To participate, simply download the app by going to the App Store (iPhone) or Google Play (Android) on your smartphone. Once you register, you will receive emails when king tides or coastal storms are expected. You can take photos and document flooding in your area right from your phone.​ Check out this how-to video!

NOTE: This opportunity is not eligible for court ordered community service hours. 

MyCoast Rhode Island is a project of the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council, URI Coastal Resources Center, Rhode Island Sea Grant, and Save The Bay.
