Tide Heights

To help plan your Seagrass-Watch monitoring in Australia and the Pacific Islands, be sure to check the tides at the following website: http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/tides/

To help plan your Seagrass-Watch monitoring for all other locations, you can download the free shareware program WXTide32 (Version 4.6 2006/06/30). The tide prediction algorithm used in this program was developed with United States Government funding, so no proprietary rights are attached to it. If you would like a copy of the program, visit website: http://www.wxtide32.com/ and follow the links.
