Tuesday March 30, from 08.45 GMT/UTC
This is a great looking intreractive project based upon the Exe Estuary, with an online collaborative event taking place on the day of the higest tide in the UK in 2021.
From the online details
“You are invited to share with us your story about the sea and in particular high tide. It might be a reading, some factual information, an image or a recording. It might be something you’ve found on the beach (brought there by the tide), it might be a story from today or last week or many years ago.
Tides are the constant ebb and flow of the planet, the stuff of myth and legend, artwork, folklore and personal history, scientific study and monitoring. Spring tides occur twice each lunar month, around full moon and new moon. The height of the spring tide varies throughout the month (and year), depending on the distance between Earth and the Moon (and the Sun). On March 30, in Exmouth, UK we will experience our highest spring tide of 2021. Art.earth, Tidelines and Low Carbon Devon invite you to mark this equinoctial tide by sharing your tide story with us. You might be an expert or you might just visit the sea once a year – whatever your relationship to the sea we want to hear from you.
Do you visit a particular place to observe the tides? Do you have a seasonal connection to the tides? Does the tide directly affect you where you live? Have you observed wildlife behaviour relating to the tides? Are you aware of an emotional response to high tides? Have you noticed changes in the tides and do you believe they might be linked to climate change? Does our knowledge of the tides, and our awareness of them become more important as the climate and sea levels change?
The High Water event starts at 08.45 GMT on March 30 and continues to low tide, six hours later, and perhaps beyond. Book a timeslot during the day to share your story. If you’d rather not join online there are other ways you can participate so please do drop us a line at high-water@art-earth.org.uk.
