You can help analyze NJ coastal flooding (and maybe win a prize!) New Jersey is the 10th state to launch its own offshoot of a national portal that allows people in coastal communities to upload photos of ocean, bay, and tidal river flooding, to help their government representatives make more informed decisions about mitigation strategies.

Vanessa Dornisch, coastal training program coordinator for the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve, said there is another, separate photo classification: "Places We Love."
