Event Details
Submitted by the Event Organizer
Join the Exploratorium, Climate Resilient Communities, and Grassroots Ecology for a stroll along the bay to observe, photograph, and discuss the King Tides. “King Tide” is a popular, non-scientific term people use to describe exceptionally high tides.
Find out what causes the tides and why we have King Tides at this time of year, learn about sea level rise, and local shoreline conditions; including ecology and history of salt marsh habitat, including and local resilience projects. Because of sea level rise, the King Tides of today provide opportunities to experience the “normal” high tides of the future.
