About this episode

This episode discusses the measurement and significance of tides in both ocean and river contexts.

Tides: how they're measured and why they happen Tides play such a big role in our waters both on the ocean and the river. It's good to revisit some things about them from time to time: like why they happen, how they are measured, and how they can complicate things for folks out on the river in vessels, but make things more fun for clammers.
