In 2025 EcoAdapt received a grant from the Kitsap Community Foundation to create graphics for the Bremerton Ferry passenger walkway to help riders visualize sea level rise. Installation was completed in August 2025, and you can now see this visualization on the passenger walkway at the Bremerton terminal!

Multiple resources are available for modeling sea level rise. One local, robust source we use is data on relative sea level rise from the University of Washington's Climate Impacts Group (CIG) to guide our visualizations. CIG's interactive data viewer allows the user to visualize sea level rise in a regionally specific way for multiple levels of emissions and likelihoods (1% likelihood to 99% based on a variety of modeling projections), where:

Looking back at our last thirty years of sea level rise, projections have been remarkably consistent with what we have actually seen across the globe. Looking forward, nearer term (mid-century) estimates have greater certainty about the amount of sea level rise we are likely to experience, and projections become less certain over time. This is why in our graphical representation, we provide a mid-point estimate of about a foot of sea-level rise by mid-century; but estimates vary between about 2 and 5 feet by end of century. We know that sea levels will continue to increase over centuries to millennia based on the carbon we have already added to the atmosphere; however, how rapidly this rise occurs depends a lot on how quickly and well we can reduce carbon emissions over the coming decades.
