Trainings & Events

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.

This virtual gathering will include a description of the new MyCoast project recently funded through the Long Island Sound Futures Fund (LISFF) and focusing on the coastal communities of Stonington, Groton, and New London.

The project team will describe the goals, timeline and upcoming engagement activities. Invited speakers will describe the use of MyCoast to gather data, improve planning for local flood events, and increase public awareness about coastal flooding. The MyCoast tool and platform will also be described in addition to an example of one local community’s plan to use the tool.
