The MACBLUE GIS workshop series concluded last week in Vanuatu, bringing together key stakeholders for a week-long event from June 23 to 27. Throughout the week, participants immersed themselves in hands-on training focused on the use of GIS and earth observation tools with a field exercise in Panganisu. For many of the 24 participants, it was an opportunity to turn theory into practice, strengthening skills that will directly support their work in the field. Amongst them were Stephanie Sali and Tima Allason.
In her opening remarks for the workshop, Rolenas Tavue Baereleo, Principal Officer (Biodiversity and Conservation), Department of Environmental Protection and Conservation, acknowledged the role of mangroves and seagrasses as natural allies in the fight against climate change.
