Projects that Dale has supported
Safety flags are used to indicate the current status of the water on that particular coast. The flag indicators alert beach-goers on what water conditions to expect. The flags are changed manually by personnel. Our solution is to use data from the National Weather Service and automatically change the flags as the weather changes. -Photo Credit to the Minnesota Sea Grant
