King Tides are upon us!
King Tides are the highest high tides of the year, and this season they are December 23-24, 2022, and January 22-23, 2023. Get out to our shorelines and get this haunting preview of sea level rise, when our ocean and bays encroach on a lot of our habitats and infrastructure. See our movie about King Tides here.
We’re partnering with Friends of Rose Creek to show how the ReWild area looks and what problems we’ll have as sea levels rise. Get more details here.
