Become a community scientist by joining Herring Gut Coastal Science educators for another Coastal Meetup on April 30th! The predicted high tide will be 11.4 feet in Port Clyde. We'll be monitoring spots like Drift Inn Beach Road that are vulnerable to coastal flooding. If you have a place near your home or business that you'd like to monitor for coastal flooding and sea level rise, come to the Coastal Meetup to learn how with GMRI's Ecosystem Investigation Network!
