A new coastal monitoring and seabed mapping initiative has officially commenced in the Pitcairn Islands. Funded by the European Union and implemented by Expertise France, the Green Overseas Programme is delivering this Facility in close partnership with the Government of the Pitcairn Islands.
The objective of this initiative is twofold: to establish a reliable long-term sea level monitoring system to inform coastal management and resilience planning, and to undertake targeted seabed and coral mapping in Bounty Bay and Tedside to support environmentally responsible maritime access and marine conservation.
Torika Christian, External Group Manager from the Government of the Pitcairn Island welcomed the launch of the project: “𝘍𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘪𝘵𝘤𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘯, 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭.
