This page describes a participatory GIS project that engaged local resource users, scientists, and stakeholders to map coastal human uses at coral reef priority sites on Hawaii and Maui. Presenters also discuss using the same approach in American Samoa’s Fagaloa region and the St. Thomas East End Reserve in the USVI.
- Used participatory GIS to document coastal human uses at coral reef priority sites on Hawaii and Maui
- Engaged local resource users, scientists, and other stakeholders in the mapping process
- Approach was also applied in Fagaloa (American Samoa) and the St. Thomas East End Reserve (USVI)
Presenters discuss a project which used participatory GIS to engage local resource users, scientists, and stakeholders to map coastal human uses at coral reef priority sites on the islands of Hawaii and Maui. The use of this approach in American Samoa’s Fagaloa region and the St. Thomas East End Reserve in the USVI is also discussed.
