Log the king-tide flood line at Raiwaqa's low-lying settlement road (2026-07-18)

Suva's low-lying settlements like Raiwaqa now flood on ordinary king tides, not just storms, as Pacific sea levels rise — a pattern regional climate bodies have documented for years. A dry-path visual log gives residents a real, repeated record of how far the water reaches on each king tide. Standard: UN-Habitat/Pacific Islands Forum coastal flood-risk monitoring guidance; SDG 13.1 (strengthen resilience to climate hazards). Proof: Timestamped waterline photo + log Method (UN-Habitat/Pacific Islands Forum coastal flood-risk monitoring guidance; SDG 13.1 (strengthen resilience to climate hazards).): 1. Stand on dry raised ground at the marked observation point during the king tide window. 2. Photograph the waterline against the fixed reference mark. 3. Record date, time, and tide stage. 4. Note any visible drainage blockage from the public vantage point. 5. Submit the photo and log entry. Done when: Timestamped waterline photo + log

Pay

$80 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Timestamped waterline photo + log

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: FEMA floodplain + green-infrastructure siting screen

Bring

• GPS phone
• tape/ruler for deposition depth
• metals field kit (if sediment screen in scope)
• boots + gloves
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Confirm post-event conditions are safe; navigate to the site; record GPS.
2. 2. Photograph deposited sediment / affected area.
3. 3. Measure deposition depth at representative points.
4. 4. If a sediment contaminant screen is in scope, run the metals field kit and record values.
5. 5. Note debris, hazards, and the extent (sketch).
6. 6. Enter depth, any analytes, hazard notes, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Unstable ground / submerged debris / contaminated water -> document from safe footing; do not enter.
• Elevated metals in deposited sediment -> flag before any reuse; recommend lab confirm.

What counts as done

• Deposition depth recorded at representative points
• Metals screen recorded (if in scope)
• Debris/hazard note + extent sketch
• GPS waypoint + timestamped photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
