  • Summary

  • The King Tide rolled into Boston on Saturday, Oct. 19, flushing harbor water through the concrete seawall at Long Wharf, where climate activists gathered to protest the state legislature’s inaction on a climate bill.

    King Tides are created by the moon’s orbit and have been happening for millenia. But rising sea levels exacerbate flooding during these tidal events, and experts say that since the start of the industrial revolution ocean levels in Boston have already risen ten inches.
