SDAS in the News - King Tides 2024

Waves on rocks

King tides are returning to San Diego this week. To learn more about this phenomenon and long-term effect it will have, we will be documenting and reporting the king tides and how they affect the coast, including the Kendall-Frost Marsh in Mission Bay.

During this community science effort, people are encouraged to take pictures and videos and submit them online. The data collected during king tides will go into a statewide database. 

We would like to thank all of the news outlets that have supported our efforts and helped us get the word about this important event. Check out some of the fantastic articles that have been run this week below:
