Problem

Maldives is one of the most vulnerable nations to the effects of climate change and sea level rise.

There is a lack of proper data to help understand the consequences of environmental decisions on every policy-making level. The GEOP Pilot aims to address this gap by laying the foundation for earth observation and climate modeling projects in the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve.

Objectives

During a preliminary scoping trip to Goidhoo atoll, local councils and stakeholders identified several issues that the project will focus on, including:

These include: seagrass population changes, coastal erosion/subsidence, coral bleaching, declining mangrove health, and soil composition. In order to understand these issues better we have planned an earth observation field working trip with our international partners on February 24th till March 3rd 2023.
