Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of mapping coastal ecosystems, particularly coral reefs, for conservation efforts. It recounts the author's transformative experience in Fiji, where they volunteered on a coral reef conservation project, learning to map underwater environments and collect data essential for establishing marine protected areas. The author highlights the use of remote sensing technology to create detailed maps from satellite images, which played a crucial role in advocating for reef conservation. Now a coastal scientist, the author reflects on the evolving nature of mapping technologies and their implications for understanding and preserving coastal landscapes. [Extracted from the article]
