Participatory Geomatics Network for Coastal Mapping and Monitoring
Community-based Geospatial Approach to Better Understand the Coastal Environments in the Estuary and Gulf of St Lawrence, Québec, Canada
April 29, 2021
Capacity-building and empowerment using low-cost geomatics equipment, easy-to-use field protocols and semi-automated processing algorithms provide a resilience pathway for coastal communities facing the effects of climate change. This article presents a participative geomatics project with the goal of increasing southern Québec’s coastal communities’ ability to map and monitor changes in their coastal environment. This co-constructed project aims to develop a participatory network of individuals and groups capable of acquiring, processing and interpreting coastal geospatial data of the Estuary and Gulf of St Lawrence (eastern Canada).
