Fumiko Matsudate notes the flood level during high tide on January's full moon outside of the Nui maneapa (meeting house for the community from the Tuvaluan island, Nui) Matsudate works with the Project for Eco-technological Management of Tuvalu Against Sea Level Rise, a project of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The water was the highest Matsudate had seen it, but predicts it will be higher during the King Tide. January 20th, Funafuti.
