Welcome to MyCoast Connecticut!

Join the MyCoast pilot project in New London, Groton & Stonington

Connecticut Sea Grant (CTSG), the Connecticut National Estuarine Research Reserve (CT NERR) and the Connecticut Institute for Resilience and Climate Adaptation (CIRCA) have partnered together to implement MyCoast as a pilot project in New London, Groton and Stonington. 

MyCoast is a tool for reporting coastal events such as storms, floods, and extreme high tides. To participate, download the MyCoast app for Apple iOS devices, or for Android devices, then make an account and upload images of these events to the Connecticut database. Help us catalogue flooding in these three southeast Connecticut communities and start conversations about the areas that you’re most concerned about. The goal is for your photos to help with local resilience planning and storm preparedness.
