SandSnap Dashboard

Launch Tool

Overview

SandSnap is a collaborative project to engage citizen scientists, build a database of beach sand grain size, and educate the next generation about coastal processes. To understand how and why coastlines change, we must know the grain size of the sand on the beach. This information helps us model sand movement caused by the tides and waves, and allows us to predict how the coast will change.
