Waterway Guide has partnered with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to provide links and access to a series of behind-the-scenes videos that offer an insider’s look at how the Institute is translating its research into practical solutions for our waters, communities and economy.
Marinas are important assets to Virginia and VIMS research helps to protect them and the communities they serve.
This installment of the “Deeper Dive” video series explores the sophisticated modeling platform developed by VIMS to provide a detailed, accurate picture of the effects of storm-related flooding in our communities.
Take a “Deeper Dive” into storm surge modeling and learn how it is being used to build more resilient communities and improve the economic strength of coastal towns and counties.
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) is mandated by the Commonwealth of Virginia to conduct research and provide sound scientific advice concerning the often-contentious issues surrounding the use and conservation of marine resources.
In the years since its founding in 1940, VIMS has developed unique capabilities in people, practices and infrastructure that allow them to provide the honest, unbiased science and guidance needed to help address the pressing issues facing our rivers, estuaries, coasts, and ocean.
