In partnership with the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association (SECOORA) and the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) Association, the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) conducted a survey to better understand coastal communities’ water level observing needs. While the survey size was small, it was geographically dispersed along the coastal regions of the U.S. The results of this survey and the experience of the Southeast Water Level Network team should be useful to inform a national effort to expand the network.
