Next surge of King Tide project about to rise SEAL ROCK — Those who can get to the coast with a camera Monday and Tuesday can play a role in this year’s King Tide project. The Oregon branch of this international volunteer effort to document the reach of the year’s high- est tides is sponsored by the CoastWatch program of the Oregon Shores Conser- vation Coalition and the state’s Coastal Management Program, along with the Surfrider Foundation and local watershed councils. Photographers of every level of ability are needed to document the next set of high tides Jan. 19-21 and again Feb. 17- 19. Find links to tide tables and sugges- tions for posting photographs, at www. oregonkingtides.net or http://bit.ly/1x- 6fu3u. Volunteers are asked to take photos at the highest point of the tide on those days. Those that show the location of the tide in relation to the built environment (roads, seawalls, buildings) are especial- ly useful in demonstrating impending threats. The ideal photo would be taken from a location where the photographer can return later at an ordinary high tide to take a comparison shot. Participating photographers are asked to post their photographs on the project’s - gonkingtides. Those who don’t wish to orkingtide@gmail.com At the conclusion of the project, a cel- ebration is being held beginning at 5:30 p.m. Feb. 20 at the South Beach loca- tion of the Rogue Brewery in Newport.
