About Bay Area King Tide Photo Initiative

WHAT IS THE KING TIDE PHOTO INITIATIVE?

Seasonal high tides occurring within the San Francisco Bay and along the outer coast on January 19th and 20th and February 16th to 18th will provide a preview of what residents might experience regularly in the future as a result of rising sea levels. We invite you to participate in the “King Tide” photo initiative. This is the first year for the initiative in the Bay Area. Its objectives are to:

1. Identify and catalogue coastal areas currently vulnerable to tidal inundation; and
2. Gather compelling graphics and pictures, so we can promote awareness of the specific potential impacts of sea level rise on the region to support climate change mitigation and adaptation.

This initiative is part of a West Coast partnership with Washington State (website, flickr) and others in Oregon and British Columbia (website, flickr).

Be sure to read and agree to our Group Rules

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

You are invited to share photographs of areas that are known to flood and erode and / or areas where the high water levels can be gauged against sea walls, jetties, bridge supports, dikes, buildings or other coastal infrastructure around the Bay Area. Members of the public who photograph these high tide events along beaches, roads, parks and estuaries are invited to submit their images to this Flickr site maintained by the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). The NERR and its partners are interested in using the images to document the coastal impacts Bay Area residents are likely to face with increasing frequency as sea level continues to rise. "Before and after" pictures showing average water levels and the extreme high water levels for the same location will be particularly useful.
