Downeast Coastal Conservancy and Maine Coast Heritage Trust are excited to invite you to participate in a Coastal Flooding Community Science project in Machias and Lubec.

We are seeking project volunteers that will help collect data to reveal the weather and water level conditions that are associated with localized coastal flooding. The data collected will aid in understanding the unique vulnerabilities our local communities experience as sea levels rise and assist in resilience planning and emergency management.

Are you interested in joining the project? Join us for a Coastal Flood Observation Event on Friday, November 15, at 9am in Machias or Lubec! Together we will make observations of coastal flooding in our community by taking photos and answering a few questions about the conditions. Details on meeting location will be sent to registered participants. Please indicate your interest in meeting in Machias or Lubec by emailing clookabaugh@mcht.org.
