King Tide Events

With a focus on coastal resilience, CES has hosted numerous outreach events focusing on the King Tides that impact our coastlines each fall. The events feature a team of experts, including CES’ Dr. Colin Polsky, explaining the significance of extremely high tides and the related challenges for South Florida. Elected officials such as Congressman Ted Deutch have attended our events.
