Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL)

The Permanent Service for Mean Sea Level (PSMSL) is an organization that collects and analyzes data related to sea level changes worldwide. It maintains a global database of tide gauge measurements, which help scientists understand long-term trends in sea level rise and fluctuations. This information is crucial for climate studies, coastal planning, and understanding the impacts of climate change. By providing reliable, standardized data, the PSMSL supports researchers, policymakers, and the public in addressing the challenges associated with rising sea levels.
