Thing to Do
Become a Citizen Scientist
NPS
Join in a scientific study at Kingsley Plantation with nothing more than your cell phone. Located on the dock at Kingsley Plantation is a Chronolog picture post with a view of the shoreline. When you take a photo and follow the instructions you become part of an erosion monitoring project. The house, shoreline, and seawall are threatened by erosion caused by strong, frequent tides and wave action from boats. With your help, this time lapse will provide us with important information about how the shoreline is changing over time. There are several sandbars in the distance that are visible at low tide that may shift, and this time lapse will also serve to help monitor these changes.
