In 2024 CCDI joined the Community Flood Watch Project sponsored by Sea Grant, a federal -university partnership under NOAA that connects scientists with communities to address coastal issues through research, education and outreach focusing on healthy ecosystems and resilient communities. The project put coastal communities together to report flooding issues in our communities. Harold Jones qualified as Flood Net Fellow in 2025, and CCDI were able to secure six sensors to monitor flooding in Canarsie.
