Help Document our Changing Coast with MyCoast: New Jersey

On March 15 at The LBIF, join Amanda Archer and the hosts of Science Saturday for another great discussion centered on MyCoast and the various tools for users to submit community reports.

The Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve (JC NERR) helps communities better understand and communicate flood risks and impacts through MyCoast: New Jersey. By collecting tide, weather, and location data, MyCoast informs state and local decision-makers to track flooding frequency, identify vulnerable areas, and develop resilience strategies to protect communities and the places they love. The platform also shares information on tides and flood preparedness for residents and visitors. See how community members are collecting data using MyCoast: New Jersey, and how that data is being used today by practitioners.

Amanda Archer has served as the Training & Engagement Coordinator at the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve since 2022. Her work aims to foster resilience in New Jersey by developing innovative tools and resources, providing learning opportunities for community leaders and organizations, facilitating collaboration among sectors, and advancing nature-based solutions in the estuary. She is a Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner in Training (CERPIT) and Managing Director for the New Jersey Coastal Resilience Collaborative.
