1. Why do you think it is important for people to know when the tides will be high and/or low?

Answer 1

Two high tides and two low tides occur during every 24-hour period. The predictability of the tides, fast movement of water during the inflow and outflow can provide a source of renewable energy to communities living along the coast.

Answer 2

Many reasons. Here are a couple:

1.) Water depth for the draft of incoming ships/vessels so they do not run aground.

2.) Distance between sea level and bottom of structures such as bridges for vessels passing underneath.
