Our Boats Are Changing the Tide

The video explores the complex factors influencing tides, including the moon, sun, and sea floor. It highlights the significant impact of shipping channels on tides, using Wilmington, NC as a case study. The enlargement of river channels reduces hydraulic drag, increasing flooding risks. The video also discusses future implications, including climate change and potential mitigation strategies.

Explain the concept of hydraulic drag and its effect on tidal movements in larger channels.
