Join #KingTides:
Since 2010, people have joined the California King Tides Project in taking and sharing
photos of the highest high tides of the year and their impact on the shore. Starting with
the 2018/2019 season, photos are compiled in an interactive online map, presenting
a geographic view of this community science data. You can also browse nearly 3,000
photos collected on Flickr from past years, search for #kingtides on social media platforms, and view a small selection
of photos from various years organized by county below.
