Wicked High Tide at Long Wharf

Boston is due to experience a spectacular tidal event: Perigean Spring Tides. These annual tides are 2-4 feet higher than normal and give us a window into how sea level rise will soon affect our daily lives.

Join Stone Living Lab staff and partners at Long Wharf to learn about this natural phenomenon, try out our Climate Cart activities, and learn how climate change is affecting our communities.

Waterproof shoes and a camera are strongly encouraged!

About the Stone Living Lab

The Stone Living Lab is an innovative and collaborative initiative for testing and scaling up nature-based approaches to climate adaptation, coastal resilience and ecological restoration in the high-energy environment of the Boston Harbor Islands National and State Park. A “Living Lab” brings research out of the lab and into the real world by creating a user-centered, open, innovative ecosystem that engages scientists and the community in collaborative design and exploration.

A partnership of the City of Boston, UMass Boston School for the Environment, Boston Harbor Now, the National Parks of Boston, the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, and the James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Foundation, the Stone Living Lab engages scientists and the community in research, education, and the promotion of equity. Learn more at stonelivinglab.org.
