King Tide: Photo Op
California coast
Based on the current warming trend, the Pacific Ocean is predicted to rise on the California coast about one foot by 2050 and three feet by the year 2100. A three-foot rise in sea level would displace an estimated 480,000 people in California alone.
A good way to mark the change is to monitor the king tides, or the highest tides of the year. The California King Tide Photo Initiative is looking for photos anywhere along the California coast during the king tides, December 22 to 24.
There are several ways to enter your photos, including Facebook, Flickr, and email. Details at http://trnerr.org/king-tides/.
