Auckland Council, NZ measures rising sea levels tide guage

Auckland Council installed a new tide gauge at a local reserve to measure rising sea levels as an indicator of climate change. The tide gauge directly compares the water level of individual tides against historic high tides, current-day mean high tides and projected high tides. The data collected from the tide gauge is provided to the Auckland King Tides Initiative in order to showcase the effects of climate change and the potential impact of extreme weather events on the community.
