Tidewatch

A better way to prepare for coastal flooding

Tidewatch Charts© provide an effective way to visualize and predict the magnitude and impacts of coastal flooding at specific locations within the Chesapeake Bay and along Virginia's seaside Eastern Shore. The Tidewatch Map© brings these data to your landscape by extrapolating flood levels between chart locations.

A related data product—VIMS' StormSense network—extends the utility of Tidewatch inland by deploying water-level sensors in flood-prone coastal areas away from the full effect of the tide.
