“Through a mix of partnerships, including NOAA, UGA Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant, Georgia Tech with its Sea Level Sensors project, and the individual communities along the coast, like Tybee Island and Brunswick, we are aware of existing challenges to Georgia’s coast and are working to address future concerns,” Carter said. “For example, through Georgia Tech’s Sea Level Sensors project, we know that flooding frequency and intensity has risen in the Savannah-Chatham County Area. Their network of 50 sensors not only provide real-time information of sea level changes but the data will also allow for modeling and forecasting of flooding in areas where people live.”
