BEACHGOERS and photography buffs are being urged to register and capture images of tomorrow morning's king tide in the name of climate science.

A king tide affecting Tasmania's southern and eastern coastlines is due to reach its peak at 8.53am tomorrow, although the effects will still be apparent through to Sunday.

People are being urged to photograph the tide in their area as part of the national Witness King Tides photography project, jointly funded by the Tasmanian and NSW governments and run by Green Cross Australia in partnership with bodies such as the CSIRO.

King tides are not linked to climate change but the scientists running the project hope to use the events to visualise how rising sea levels may impact on beaches and coastal communities in the future.

To register to take part in the photography project, visit http://www.witnesskingtides.org/

Send us your king tide pics via email to readerspix@dbl.newsltd.com.au.
