Members of the general public, or community scientists, have contributed photographs documenting the impact of King Tides on coastal resources and infrastructure across Hawaiʻi and other Pacific islands. King tides are the highest astronomical tides of the year. Though a naturally occurring and predictable occurrence, these extreme high water level events provide us with a glimpse of what our coasts may look like in the future due to sea level rise and other coastal hazards. These photographs are publicly accessible through this mapping platform and provide a critical resource for researchers, policy makers, and community members.

When there are too many photos to display concurrently in a given location, the following icons will indicate the number of photos clustered in that general area:
low | medium | high |
Clicking on one of the above cluster icons will zoom into that area of the map for closer inspection.
Otherwise, the following map marker will be displayed at the location of each photograph:
When there are multiple photographs at the same location, the highlighted green marker shown below will be displayed. Clicking on the highlighted marker will "spiderfy" into the multiple markers at that location. This will display them in a fan-like appearance around the map location, as the following example illustrates:
Click on any marker to produce a pop-up window with further details about that photograph. This will include the following: date and time of the photo, the name of the photographer, the latitude and longitude coordinates of the observed location, and a thumbnail version of the photograph:
Clicking on "more info" in the pop-up window will open a sidebar with additional information about the photograph. This will include any further comments and placenames submitted by the observer, if any, as well as the photograph's photo ID in the database. Note that you can use this photo ID to link directly to the photo in the map viewer: e.g., http://pacioos.org/ktm?id=307. The sidebar will also provide the ability to view and download the full resolution image.
You can search and filter the available photographs by clicking on the magnifying glass near the upper-left corner of the map:
This brings up a "Search Photos" window that allows you to limit the displayed markers to photographs that meet one or more selected criteria, such as a date range, impact(s), the photographer's name, etc. Note that some attributes are optional submission fields and were not recorded for all entries. This is indicated in the search window with a cautionary note or by the inclusion of a "n/a" selection option.
