Here come the king tides again

Volunteers with the ongoing king tides project are fanning out along low-lying shoreline areas this weekend to document expected flooding and high-water levels.

They’re snapping photos of what Joshua Stanbro, Honolulu’s chief resilience officer, described this week as a “snapshot of the future.” Or where the normal water level will be within a few decades.

Another round of king tides — the highest tides that occur around solstices — is slated for July 21-23.

Information about volunteer opportunities through the Sea Grant College Program at the University of Hawaii, is available online at pacificislandskingtides.com.
