Connecticut Sea Grant (CTSG), the Connecticut National Estuarine Research Reserve (CTNERR), and the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA) have partnered together to launch MyCoast Connecticut in New London, Groton, and Stonington as a pilot program.
MyCoast is a community science tool that encourages residents to take pictures of flooding, storm damage and high tide, in order to support local emergency preparedness and help to strengthen the coastline. It comes in the form of an app alongside their website that users can submit pictures to which are uploaded to a database that is accessible for everyone to view.
