Work out when to go?
Use the map to pinpoint the time and date of the
king tide event nearest to you. The best time to take photos is at
the peak of the tide when the water level is at its highest. This
time varies both along the coast and within the estuaries away from
the coast.
Hot spots
See the list on the bottom of the page for places that are great
vantage points to witness the king tide. Do you know any others?
Add them to our hotspots map!
What shots to
take?
Capture photos of local coastal areas that are subject to flooding
or erosion. Take images where the impact of the tide can be gauged
against familiar landmarks like buildings, jetties, bridges, roads,
sea walls, shorelines, beach infrastructure or estuary
shorelines.
If you can, take contrasting
'before and after' shots which help to show the average water level
in the same location.
Be safe
Use good judgement when you are taking your photos. Stay away from
dangerous situations particularly in stormy conditions and avoid
taking risks.
Make a day of
it
Take your family and friends with you and participate together.
Why not enjoy the event together and witness the future. If you are
keen to coordinate a group of people, get in touch and we can help
you. Check out these Tide Tracking activity ideas.
A list of hot
spots
Some beaches in Tasmania that are important
habitats for nesting shorebirds are also vulnerable to destruction
from sea level rise. Help us understand how sea level rise
might impact on these beaches!
